Integrated Image Processing/GIS Techniques for Monitoring Aquatic Resources

Reference No:

GIS 37-1

The objective of this study was to emphasize the database development, image processing and GIS analysis capabilities of small computers that permit resource managers and research scientists to utilize these technologies on-site.

Shown here are three examples of wetland studies involving the integration of remote sensing and GIS techniques for assessing aquatic resources: (1) Aquatic plant distributions and water quality in large reservoirs, based on interpretations of CIR (Color InfraRed) aerial photographs; (2) Non-point source pollution as input to aquatic systems using satellite image data, aerial photographs, maps and field studies; (3) Changes in coastal mainland vegetation related to upland management activities (e.g. logging and controlled burning) using GPS, photogrammetric and GIS techniques.

Remote Sensing and GIS Contribution for an Environmental Planning Proposal

Reference No:

GIS 37-2

A model has been successfully developed to determine trends in ground water susceptibility to pollution and water supply, given continued urban/industrial development.

Mr. Jemma presents schematics of a model showing relations between Resources, Uses and Management. Data was collected at several levels of detail: land use/land cover, actual pollution, population, etc. The developed model was based on monitoring of land use changes with SPOT or Landsat TM which predicts potential pollution, etc.

Ecological Inventory and Classification using Remote Sensing/GIS Analysis

Reference No:

GIS 37-3

Native conservancy in Jamaica is concerned with preservation of biodiversity and ecologically significant areas. Presently, the development of a rapid ecological assessment program is underway to study the diverse ecophysical variables in order to plan for and implement protection.

The presentation describes methods used to combine vegetation, topography, soils and geology in Jamaica to aid in site selection and characterization of potential parks.
