Sample project: establishing a global forest monitoring capability using multi-resolution and multi-temporal remotely sensed data sets Sample project: establishing a global forest monitoring capability using multi-resolution and multi-temporal remotely sensed data sets
Quantifying rates of forest-cover change is important for improved carbon accounting and climate change modeling, management of forestry and agricultural resources, and biodiversity monitoring. A practical solution to examining trends in forest cover change at global scale is to employ remotely sensed data. Satellite-based monitoring of forest cover can be implemented consistently across...

Web-enabled Landsat Data (WELD): Landsat ETM+ composited mosaics of the conterminous United States Web-enabled Landsat Data (WELD): Landsat ETM+ composited mosaics of the conterminous United States
Since January 2008, the U.S. Department of Interior / U.S. Geological Survey have been providing free terrain-corrected (Level 1T) Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) data via the Internet, currently for acquisitions with less than 40% cloud cover. With this rich dataset, temporally composited, mosaics of the conterminous United States (CONUS) were generated on a monthly...

Addressing foundational elements of regional land-use change forecasting Addressing foundational elements of regional land-use change forecasting
Regional land-use models must address several foundational elements, including understanding geographic setting, establishing regional land-use histories, modeling process and representing drivers of change, representing local land-use patterns, managing issues of scale and complexity, and development of scenarios. Key difficulties include managing an array of biophysical and...

Exploring subtle land use and land cover changes: A framework for future landscape studies Exploring subtle land use and land cover changes: A framework for future landscape studies
Land cover and land use changes can have a wide variety of ecological effects, including significant impacts on soils and water quality. In rural areas, even subtle changes in farming practices can affect landscape features and functions, and consequently the environment. Fine-scale analyses have to be performed to better understand the land cover change processes. At the same time...
