Ecological Multi-Decadal Landsat Satellite Imagery Pixel-Level Analysis on Vancouver Dataset

This dataset captures multi-decadal patterns of vegetation dynamics, urban expansion, and ecological risk across the City of Vancouver using consistent Landsat satellite observations from 1990 to 2025. Vancouver provides a uniquely relevant case study due to its rapid population growth, strong environmental planning reputation, and location within the highly biodiverse and climate-sensitive Pacific Northwest. This Dataset is primarily analysis results of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) were calculated from Landsat spectral bands for each year at the pixel level. The dataset offers a comprehensive view of how ecological conditions in a model green city have evolved under sustained urban pressure by comparing urban sprawl and vegetation loss during the peak vegetation summer months.
