| description |
The course will focus on environmental resource inventory methods using several spatial analysis tools. Inventory methods will include topographic map interpretation, aerial photo interpretation, photo-to-map transfer techniques, analog to digital conversion of inventory data, classification of digital imagery, field acquisition of map coordinate data, map accuracy assessment, and construction of cartographic products from digital databases. The course is designed to be a very practical, hands-on experience with topographic maps, medium-scale color-infrared aerial photographs, coordinate digitizers, multi-spectral satellite images, navigation-grade global positioning system (GPS) instruments, and elementary spatial analysis and map production software. The objectives of this course are to: 1) introduce fundamental tools used for mapping environmental resources; 2) provide experience in mapping land cover conditions using maps, aerial photographs, satellite images, and GPS technology; and 3) practice with spatial analysis methods and digital cartographic techniques. Professors Arthur J. Lembo, Jr. and Stephen D. DeGloria, Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, Cornell University |
