Steps for land use demand estimation
- extract multi-band raster with land cover presents for each scenario-model combination for 2050
- clip raster to bounding box using complete inclusion so partially-included cells are preserved
- convert pixels to polygons
- clip polygons to bounding box
- clip polygons to polygon of land
- calculate area of each clipped polygon
- multiply area by land cover percent value for each polygon to get demand within each polygon
- sum demand for all polygons to calculate total demand for each land cover type
- output tabular land cover demand as a .csv file
