Habitat Dynamics: Using Satellite Remote-Sensing in Landscape-Scale Wildlife and Ecological Process Studies
The primary objective of this task is to evaluate and apply techniques in remote sensing, satellite telemetry, and geographic information system (GIS) technology to USGS ecosystem and wildlife research.Abstract
This project serves as a focal point of capability and expertise for integrating remote sensing, satellite telemetry and GIS. Working collaboratively with other principal investigators, this project applies satellite and software technologies to study spatial and temporal interactions between wildlife populations and their environment. There are three primary objectives: 1) develop optimal structures for wildlife distribution databases with emphasis on satellite tracking data; 2) develop environmental thematic databases with emphasis on Arctic regions; and 3) develop GIS algorithms for integrated data analyses.
