[Sdi-northamerica] Introduction to Wetland RS and Mapping & Advanced Wetland Photo-Interpretation

[Kate Lance]

7-9 November 2007.  Introduction to Wetland Remote Sensing and Mapping. Lafayette, Louisiana, USA. This course is designed as an intensive introductory 3 day session of lectures, discussions, and hands-on exercises that emphasizes the use of aerial photography as applied to assessing and mapping wetland vegetation from species level to broad vegetative level classification. Included is a field trip to verify wetland interpretations made in the classroom. Course content has been designed for field biologists, researchers, and others who deal with wetland wildlife habitat, environmental quality and impact assessment. Since interest in this workshop is likely to be high, an early application is suggested. Contact: Lindsey A Broussard, lindsey_broussard at usgs.gov, Intern, National Wetlands Research Center/USGS.

12-14 November 2007.  Advanced Wetland Photo-Interpretation.  Lafayette, Louisiana, USA.  This three day workshop will cover: The development of a methodology for mapping wetlands projects, an understanding of the NWI wetland and the National Wetlands Research Center upland classification systems, Photointerpretation of color infrared aerial photographs, the use of soil surveys, topographic maps and historical wetland maps as aids in the Photointerpretation process, techniques for groundtruthing, and cartographic transformation of photointerpreted habitats to a standard base map. This course will include classroom lecture, classroom exercises in photointerpretation of habitats using a stereoscope, fieldwork, cartographic transformation using a zoom transfer scope. An understanding of the identification of wetland habitats from aerial photographs (*as presented in the Introduction to Remote Sensing and Photointerpretation of Wetlands) is essential for
 this workshop. *Work related experiences can be substituted for the introductory workshop. Contact: Lindsey A Broussard, lindsey_broussard at usgs.gov, Intern, National Wetlands Research Center/USGS. Tel: +1-337-266-8500
