Great Lakes PREVENTION InitiativeRemote Sensing Approaches for Ecosystem MAPPING AND INVENTORY and Restoration

In the context of the landscape (PLANET EARTH), how can you manage or restore any feature

unless you know: Where Is It?

What Is There? How Much Is There?

enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the

American people.

Cormorant nesting areas are roughly delineated on photoA level slice of band 1 was performed to identify the cormorant spectral signatureThe cormorant spectral signature is then converted to polygons….And the polygons to points.

Focus of Invasive Phragmites Mapping in the coastal Great Lakes

• 130,672 ha (322,891 acres) freshwater emergent wetlands

• within 10km coastline

• Coastal region emergent wetlands most vulnerable to Phragmites invasion• water level

changes• Typha-dominated• wet meadow

Page 31: Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Remote Sensing Applications

Lake Huron Mapping

•775 unique field site visits. • 459 validation, 316

training•Phragmites observed at 29% of sites. (228 of the 775).

• 14% Validation sites• 15% training sites

•Only NWI "Palustrine Emergent" polygons used to generate random points for validation sites of these, only 53% were documented as emergent in the field observations

Geospatial image streaming evaluation

• Evaluate for multiple features: ease of data integration, outputs formats, performance, ability to scale to multi-terabyte archives

• Publish document, assess technologies for meeting USFWS needs to share imagery

MERLIN's dual, wide-beam radar configuration provides the most complete & cost-effective surveillance

• Superior coverage to pencil beam & parabolic dish radars • The horizontal S-band provides bird detection even in weather

MERLIN Radar Coverage

Horizontal scanning radar provides bird detection out to 2-4 nm & up to 10,000

“Due, in part, to their limited capacity for adaptation, wetlands are considered to be among the ecosystems most vulnerable to

climate change.”Climate Change and Water

IPCC June 2008

Page 43: Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Remote Sensing Applications

So why is Radar so important?

• Daily coverage in 5 years regardless of clouds– We could map wetlands over all of North America

in a week!• Radar sees of water containing features

– Wetlands and vegetation structure• Map water elevation change in wetlands

CONCLUSION:One needs ASSESSMENT Before targeted restoration in order to

PREVENT future and more expensive restorations.

ACTION ITEM

Contact your local, state, tribal and federal government leaders to support and maintain geospatial assessment!

Why? To PREVENT or minimize cleanup (restoration) of larger future disasters

= lower taxes!
