AbstractPutting Puzzles Together When the Pieces Don't Fit: Data Integration Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management Author(s): Chris Curlis, David Hansen, Jeff Milliken The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are developing a land cover database to detect change in the Central Valley of California. The main objective is to identify and monitor change in habitats. An initial baseline layer was created using 1993 data. This presentation will detail the challenges of integrating data from six preexisting sources. The project also integrates some of the unique capabilities of ArcInfo, ArcView, ERDAS IMAGINE, and IPW software to produce a seamless base layer that can be joined with similar change detection programs being undertaken by other agencies for California.
