Author: John Brockhaus United States Military Academy Phone: (914) 938-2063 Degradation of vegetation as a result of training activities is a significant issue on many military installations. Environmental managers at Ft. Carson, Colorado, are involved in an evaluation of techniques for monitoring changes in vegetative health on lands used for military training exercises. Methodologies being investigated range from field-oriented data collection to the exploitation of remotely sensed imagery. This paper presents the results of a study that addresses this issue through the use of a combination of satellite imagery and large to medium-scale color aerial photography. |
