Current ocean color sensors, for example SeaWiFS and MODIS, are well suited for sampling the open ocean. However,
coastal environments are spatially and optically more complex and require more frequent sampling and higher spatial
resolution sensors with additional spectral channels. We have conducted experiments with data from Hyperion and
airborne...
This research examines the effect of recent landownership changes and new management stewardship
mechanisms (e.g., forest certification and working forest conservation easements) on disturbance rates in Maine
forests. We quantify forest disturbance rates between 2000 and 2007 and forest cover type composition in 2007,
as detected by Landsat Thematic Mapper...

Remotesensing methods provide an effective and economical
A multidisciplinary team of scientists (Appendix 1) examined 10 of the 16 environmental benchmarks that are tracked by the Oregon Progress Board. The intent of the environmental benchmarks is to provide a fair assessment of the status and trends of Oregon's environmental health. The scientists were asked to clarify benchmark...
