Forest Mapping and Monitoring with SAR Data

Podest, E.; McCullum, A.; Torres-Pérez, J.; McCartney, S.; Siqueira, P.; Lei, Y.; Whelen, T.; Kraatz, S. (2020).

Forest cover and land surface temperature (LST) around Maine's Penobscot River during Summer 2021. The shades of green distinguish between evergreen (dark) and deciduous (light) forest which were classified using Landsat 8 OLI imagery. The purple gradient corresponds to LST derived from Terra MODIS where the warmest areas, including Bangor, are white. Changing land use and warming temperatures along Maine’s rivers are associated with reducing juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) survivorship.

Potential for land cover to change from trees to grass, forb, and herb between 1987 and 2020 in the Teton Mountain Range. Image created from LCMS land cover data which are derived from Landsat 4, 5, 7, and 8 imagery (1987 - 2020). High transition potential is depicted in yellow and low transition potential is indigo. Transition potentials help to forecast land cover and inform land managers on the locations of suitable bighorn sheep habitat.
