Recent advances in deep learning, large-scale cloud computing, and open access to decades of Earth observation from public satellite constellations have enabled a breakthrough in automated mapping and monitoring at global scale in near real time. We report on work generating a sequence of annual, global land use and land cover maps at 10 m spatial resolution for years 2017 through 2022, publicly available as an open science product. Each map required processing over 2 million Copernicus Sentinel-2 scenes (approximately 0.6 petabytes). Each map was completed in approximately one week using commercial cloud computing resources. We report our map accuracy and recent work to stabilize the maps across time for monitoring changes across years.
