Landsat Based Monitoring Landscape Dynamics (13 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This protocol details the objectives, methods, and data analysis for monitoring landscape changes over time using remote sensing data and technology in the western Great Lakes region of the United States. Detailed methods are in standard operating procedures (SOPs). The protocol involves compiling and processing a time series of Landsat imagery (since 1984) to automate change detection on the landscape using algorithms developed by research scientists at Oregon State University. Collectively, these algorithms comprise a trajectory-based approach known as LandTrendr (Landsat-based detection of trends in disturbance and recovery). The monitoring will take place at Apostle Islands National Lakeshore (APIS), Voyageurs National Park (VOYA), Isle Royale National Park (ISRO), Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (SLBE), Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (PIRO), St. Croix National Scenic Riverway (SACN), Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, and Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore (INDU). This monitoring is funded and conducted by the NPS Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring Network (GLKN).

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring Network (hereafter GLKN or Network) implemented the landscape dynamics protocol (Kennedy et al. 2010) at Isle Royale National Park (ISRO) in 2010. As part of the protocol, changes in land cover/land use are summarized and categorized for six of the more recent years, in this case 2003-2008. Landscape dynamics was ranked among the top five vital signs for national parks in the Great Lakes region (Route and Elias 2007).

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The focus of this report will be to present summary statistics of land cover change (disturbances) over a period of six years (2002 to 2007) for three areas: Voyageurs National Park, an adjacent area in Canada, and an adjacent area in the U.S. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Apostle Islands National Lakeshore (APIS) is composed of a group of 21 islands in western Lake Superior and part of the Bayfield Peninsula of northern Wisconsin. Disturbances, or distinct changes in vegetation cover, are an important part of how this ecosystem functions. Monitoring these disturbances through time will provide information regarding historic disturbance regimes compared to present and future conditions and trends. For this analysis, disturbances in and around APIS were delineated for six years, 2004-2009, using a combination of Landsat satellite imagery and high resolution aerial photos. A set of computer algorithms were employed (LandTrendr), in conjunction with a dense time series of Landsat imagery (one set for each year) to track vegetation changes in and around the park. LandTrendr was used to identify apparent disturbances, after which high resolution imagery (airphotos) was used for photo interpretation to substantiate evidence of a disturbance, and hence, validate whether the disturbance occurred. For each validated disturbance, we identified the agent of change (fire, forest harvest, development, flooding due to beaver activity, and blowdowns) in addition to the year of occurrence, and starting and ending vegetation classes.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Landscape dynamics refers to a large suite of ecological and geomorphological processes occurring across broad spatial scales. As part of Vital Signs Monitoring, the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) of the National Park Service developed a protocol for monitoring landscape dynamics using remote sensing. Protocol implementation involves cooperative work with the Laboratory for Applications of Remote Sensing in Ecology (LARSE) at Oregon State University, leveraging their use of Landsat remotely sensed imagery to detect landscape change. LARSE has developed a set of algorithms called LandTrendr (Landsat-based Detection of Trends in Disturbance and Recovery).
