WK-17: Community
to the globe: Landscape analysis
using geospatial tools
Sunday, August 7, 8 AM - 12
PM, Meeting Room 515c, Level 5, Palais des congrès de
Montréal
Fee:
$15 US Dollars per person – includes continental
breakfast, literature, demonstration, and CD.
Minimum:
10
Maximum: 50
Organizers:
Marguerite Madden (mmadden@uga.edu),
Donna Johnson
Description:
This
workshop will consist of lectures, discussions, and demonstrations on landscape
analysis. It will feature a unique group of researchers, each possessing a
combination of skills and background in ecology, remote sensing, and geographic
information systems (GIS). These researchers use geospatial tools in their daily
lives to characterize, assess, and analyze landscapes with applications ranging
from community-level sustainability to modeling global patterns. The goal of the
workshop is to demonstrate the use of spatial technologies to assess landscape
processes across multiple scales. Case studies will be presented that highlight
the use of geospatial tools to assess the ecological impacts of human activities
and assist in decision making for managers and policy makers. Participants will
gain an appreciation for: (1) the
use of satellite and airborne remotely sensed images and ground-based
measurements to characterize the landscape; and (2) analysis techniques to
assess trends, create visualizations, perform spatial correlations, and produce
predictive models. Presenters include: Marguerite Madden and Thomas Blaschke,
Matt Dunbar and Monika Moskal, Carol Johnston, Susan Crow, Ray Curren and Eileen
Allen, Liz Kramer, and Ned Gardiner. Each participant will receive a CD with the
slides, relevant papers, speaker information, vendor information, list of
related literature, and samples of visualizations displayed in the workshop.
