Thematic mapping from satellite imagery Thematic mapping from satellite imagery
This report, produced between 1984 and 1987 in a bilingual edition (English and French), provides a wealth of information on a wide variety of cartographic applications which are being developed to make effective use of new data that is now being collected by Earth observation satellites. At a time when natural resource development and environmental problems have to be taken into account...

Land cover mapping of the upper Kuskokwim Resource Managment Area using LANDSAT and a digital data base approach Land cover mapping of the upper Kuskokwim Resource Managment Area using LANDSAT and a digital data base approach
Digital land cover and terrain data for the Upper Kuskokwim Resource Hanagement Area (UKRMA) were produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, Earth Resources Observation Systems Field Office, Anchorage, Alaska for the Bureau of Land Management. These and other environmental data, were incorporated into a digital data base to assist in the management and planning of the UKRMA. The digital...

Toward a Federal Land Information System: Experiences and issues Toward a Federal Land Information System: Experiences and issues
From 1983 to 1987, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted research to develop a national resource data base of Federal lands under the auspices of the Federal Land Information System (FLIS) program. The program's goal was to develop the capability to provide information to national mineral-use policymakers. Prototype spatial data bases containing mineral, land status, and base cartographic...

Selected papers in the applied computer sciences, 1988 Selected papers in the applied computer sciences, 1988
This compilation of short papers is intended to describe technical advances in the applied computer sciences. The aim of the series is to provide a forum for discussions on innovative uses of computing techniques in the earth sciences. Papers are presented on ( 1) an expert system to facilitate land analysis, (2) data-generalization processes for use with geographic information systems,...
Differences in visible and near-IR responses, and derived vegetation indices, for the NOAA-9 and NOAA-10 AVHRRs: a case study Differences in visible and near-IR responses, and derived vegetation indices, for the NOAA-9 and NOAA-10 AVHRRs: a case study
This study evaluates the differences in the visible and near-IR responses of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRR) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-9 and -10 satellites for coincident sample locations. The study also evaluates the differences in vegetation indices computed from those data. Data were acquired of the southeast portion of the...

Extracting topographic structure from digital elevation data for geographic information-system analysis Extracting topographic structure from digital elevation data for geographic information-system analysis
Software tools have been developed at the U.S. Geological Survey's EROS Data Center to extract topographic structure and to delineate watersheds and overland flow paths from digital elevation models. The tools are specialpurpose FORTRAN programs interfaced with general-purpose raster and vector spatial analysis and relational data base management packages. The first phase of analysis is...

Nowitna National Wildlife Refuge land cover mapping project user's guide Nowitna National Wildlife Refuge land cover mapping project user's guide
Title III of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (ANILCA 1980) established the Nowitna National Wildlife Refuge (NNWR). Section 304 of the Act requires the Secretary of Interior to "prepare, and from time to time revise, a comprehensive conservation plan" for the refuge.
