Objectif(s): To continue development of a digital database of vegetation cover types from satellite imagery along the Mackenzie Valley corridor for use in a geographic information system;

Description du projet: The researcher and her team will conduct helicopter surveys of vegetation types. The field data will aid in the computer classification of satellite imagery. The results will be vegetation maps of the Mackenzie Valley, which can be plotted on paper or entered into a digital database on a geographic information system (GIS) for further analysis with other data such as wildlife habitat, forest fires, and trapline locations.
