We mapped urban dynamics from Landsat time series data using the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform and developed a national dataset of annual urban extent (1985–2015) at a fine spatial resolution (30 m) in the conterminous United States (US).

Spatial Resolution: 30m;

Temporal Resolution: Annual;

Temporal Coverage: 1985-2015
