Remote Sensing Activities Report 2012

The Department of the Interior has released its remote sensing activities report. This report, from the DOI Remote Sensing Working Group, provides a sampling of the many FY12 applications of remote sensing across the Department. Remotely sensed data, information, and resources contribute significantly to mission-critical work across the DOI. Spanning data sources from aerial photography, to moderate resolution satellite data, to highly specialized imaging sensors and platforms, DOI personnel use remotely sensing capabilities to evaluate and monitor land-surface conditions over the vast areas for which DOI has responsibility.
