GIS based wildlife management models
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Group (86-68211) performs research to find more cost effective, accurate, and useful ways to improve and use remote sensing and GIS data to study the spatial relationships and quality of different vegetation types in the area. This information is invaluable for planning, habitat assessment, wildlife management, and other critical environmental efforts. The research serves a variety of users including environmental specialists, wildlife biologists, fisheries biologists, resource planners, and engineers. Studies include:
- Examining light detection and ranging (LIDAR) technology for mapping river valleys
- Testing LIDAR for flood studies
- Using hyperspectral imagery
- Testing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data for characterizing riparian vegetation to determine the consumptive uses of water and protect endangered species habitat
This group can combine the entire array of U.S. Census with data from health, transportation, criminal justice, marketing, housing, economic development, social service, and other organizations as input into a geographic information system. These data can be used to estimate the human impacts on natural resources.
