Remote Sensing
Service: Provide expert remote sensing analysis to support conservation research
and consulting.
The Technique: Remote sensing, using visible and multispectral images obtained
from satellite- or aircraft-mounted sensor arrays, is increasingly used to analyze
land cover and ecological processes. Measurement and monitoring with remote
sensing has the advantage of allowing noninvasive data collection over large
spatial areas, with repeated sampling over time and ready comparison with other
geographic areas.
Our Contribution: We commonly use remote sensing for scientific research and for
conservation projects. We use remote sensing to quantify changes in habitat
extent and condition, as well as ecosystem-level processes such as
photosynthesis, productivity, and evapotranspiration.
