Technology Transfer and Remote Sensing in Environmental Monitoring

Reference No:

GIS 43-1

Technology transfer is divided into three key phases: The first is the Enabling Phase in which policy support, mandate and management is set out. The second is the Empowerment Phase during which information is obtained, education on training is undertaken and infrastructure established. The Implementation Phase is based on demonstration, applications, integration and research and development. The remainder of the paper discusses three sources of risk: acceptability, feasibility and availability.

Collection and Interpretation of Color Infrared and Thermal Infrared Imagery of Landfill Covers

Reference No:

GIS 43-3

The presentation describes using Thermal IR imagery to monitor (1) drainage from land fills, (2) impact on vegetation of leachates and depressions on the surface and (3) to monitor the whole site at one time, leading to identification of minor problems before they become major problems.
