Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge land cover mapping project users guide Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge land cover mapping project users guide
Title III of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (ANILCA, 1980) established the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge (TNWR). 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. Before developing a plan for the refuge, the Secretary shall identify and describe--a) the...

Design of a spatial data structure using the relational normal forms Design of a spatial data structure using the relational normal forms
In previous work, a relational data structure aimed at the exchange of spatial data between systems was developed. As this data structure was relational it was of first normal form, but compliance with the higher normal forms was not investigated. Recently, a new procedural method for composing fully normalized data structures from the basic data fields has been developed by H. C. Smith...

Higher resolution satellite remote sensing and the impact on image mapping Higher resolution satellite remote sensing and the impact on image mapping
Recent advances in spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution of civil land remote sensing satellite data are presenting new opportunities for image mapping applications. The U.S. Geological Survey's experimental satellite image mapping program is evolving toward larger scale image map products with increased information content as a result of improved image processing techniques and...

Prospects for mineral resource assessments on public lands: Proceedings of the Leesburg workshop Prospects for mineral resource assessments on public lands: Proceedings of the Leesburg workshop
Modern geological surveys pursue a wide spectrum of research activities in the earth sciences. From the beginning, however, one of the core tasks of any national geological survey has been the assessment and evaluation of its nation's mineral and fuel resources. The methods by which such assessments are carried out have become more sophisticated over time, in keeping with advancing...
Recent developments in the U. S. Geological Survey's Landsat image mapping program Recent developments in the U. S. Geological Survey's Landsat image mapping program
At the 1984 ASPRS-ACSM Convention in Washington, D. C. a paper on 'The Emerging U. S. Geological Survey Image Mapping Program' was presented that discussed recent satellite image mapping advancements and published products. Since then Landsat image mapping has become an integral part of the National Mapping Program. The Survey currently produces about 20 Landsat multispectral scanner...
