Movie ID Title
Final animation composite showing both land-based photographs of seasonal vegetation change alongside satellite data of NDVI over the United States. The animation first starts with photographs of Tamarisk at the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument in Utah. These photos then cycle through time showing the changing seasons. They then pull away to reveal NDVI data over the western U.S. The NDVI data continues to cycle through the seasons in synchronization with the photos. Finally, the cycling NDVI data is combined with land cover classification data to create the Tamarisk suitability map. 3332 Deriving the Tamarisk Suitability Map: The Complete Story
NDVI (in shades of green) is the topmost dataset. EVI (in shades of red, orange, and brown) is the middle layer. Landcover (in shades of yellow, orange, and green) is the bottommost layer. 3331 Creating the Tamarisk Habitat Suitability Map (for Science Presentations)
The Annual Vegetation Cycle data (in shades of green) is the topmost dataset in this image. The MODIS Landcover Classification data (in shades of yellow, orange, and green) is the bottommost dataset in this image. 3330 Creating the Tamarisk Habitat Suitability Map (for General Use)
