  <dc:description>&lt;div id="abstracts" class="Abstracts u-font-serif"&gt;&lt;div id="ab0010" class="abstract author" lang="en"&gt;&lt;div id="as0010"&gt;&lt;p id="sp0025"&gt;&lt;span&gt;A new map of global islands at a&amp;nbsp;high spatial resolution&amp;nbsp;(30 m) has been produced from a semi-automated interpretation of 2014 satellite imagery. The data are available in the public domain. The islands were classified by size into continental mainlands (5), big islands &amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;1&amp;nbsp;km&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;(21,818), and small islands&amp;nbsp;≤&amp;nbsp;1&amp;nbsp;km&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;(318,868). The new high-resolution islands data are intended to support coastal ecosystem mapping efforts and assessments of threatened island biodiversity, among other applications. This chapter summarizes the global island mapping approach and results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
