Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the potential of multispectral remote sensing techniques for studying the hydrobiology of the Everglades National Park. The author, a leading expert in the field, presents the results of a cooperative research effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Michigan's Willow Run Laboratories. Through the use of multispectral data collection and processing, the author examines the feasibility of classifying and mapping aquatic vegetation, water depth, and exposed limestone in the park. The book discusses the theoretical basis of automatic processing, the selection of spectral channels, and the interpretation of recognition maps. The results demonstrate the potential of these techniques for providing quantitative data on plant successional changes in the park, which can inform water management practices and contribute to the preservation of the Everglades ecosystem.
