Abstract
Mapping Landcover over Large Geographic Areas: Integrating GIS and Remote Sensing Technologies
Track: Remote Sensing Imagery
Author(s): John Lowry, R Ramsey, Gerald Manis
The Southwest Regional Gap Analysis project is a coordinated effort to complete a Gap Analysis (USGS BRD) for a large area encompassing the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Utah. One of the key products from this effort will be a seamless coverage of vegetative land cover modeled from Landsat 7 imagery and ancillary GIS data. This presentation provides an overview of the five-state effort and focuses on the role of GIS throughout various aspects of the project. Specifically GIS has been used extensively for field data collection, data management, data automation, data generation, and modeling.
