Terrestrial Development Index for the Western United States: 20-kilometer Moving Window

The terrestrial development index (TDI) quantifies levels of development (urban, agriculture, energy and mineral extraction and transmission, and transportation). TDI scores represent the total percentage of the development footprint within a 20-kilometer radius circular moving window. The Surface Disturbance Footprint from Development for the Western United States is used in the moving window analysis. The TDI scores range from 0-100%.
