The University of Maryland Cooperation with CARPE Project Title: "The University of Maryland Cooperation with CARPE" PI(s): Chistopher Justice , Michel Massart, Nadine Laporte, Mark Heinicke Description: Introduction to The University of Maryland Cooperation with CARPE The University of Maryland component would be a regional initiative focused around improved monitoring of the forest resources of the region, undertaken by NASA/ GSFC in close cooperation with the Geography Department at the University of Maryland, the national forest services and NGO communities, leading towards a better understanding of the state of the forests, the extent and location of forest degradation and the development of a regional forest management plan. Active collaboration is also being sought with the NGO community. In the first three years of the project the objective will be to develop strong and active African partnerships with the Pathfinder program and establish the CARPE needs for satellite data and coordinate the various forest monitoring components of the CARPE projects. Emphasis would be given to involving African nationals in the data interpretation and verification of satellite derived maps and would include a strong training component on the use of remote sensing data and GIS (Activity 4). The activity would involve a strong . data and information sharing component and would be undertaken in the context of the CARPE information working group. This activity would provide the African collaborators with the available high resolution satellite data, the tools for satellite monitoring, an improved understanding of the state of the forests and the basis for developing improved regional forest management plans.

Human population Ecosystem dynamics An ecosystem is a complex, self-regulating association of living plants and animals and their nonliving physical environment. Source of image: Forest Ecosystem Dynamics (FED) Project Landsat Images Changes in the patterns of land use and the monitoring of ecosystem has largely been accomplished on a global scale by analyzing data from the LANDSAT satellites. With the launch of the Landsat 1 in 1972, the Landsat program is the longest-running program of remote-sensing from space. It images the entire earth once in 16 days. The Landsat satellite carries a multispectral scanner (MSS) and starting with Landsat-4 in 1982, also a Thematic Mapper (TM). MSS and TM are instruments that measure electromagnetic radiation from the sun reflecting off the Earth. MSS data has a spatial resolution of about 80 m x 80 m, and measures the intensity of reflected light in four bands: green light, red light and two different wavelength bands of infrared. TM has more bands and a 30 m x 30 m resolution.

27. Obtaining Landsat Images The US Government does distribute certain high resolution Landsat MSS satellite images as part of the Landsat Pathfinder Program. http://members.aol.com/landsatcd/MOREHTML/landsat.html

Obtaining Landsat Images INTRODUCTION One of the best known series of earth observation satellites is Landsat. First launched as the Earth Resource Technology Satellite in July 1972, it was later renamed Landsat 1. This satellite was followed by Landsat 2 through 5. Landsat 6 never reached orbit after launch in 1993. Landsat-7 began operations in 1999 and is now producing great imagery of our planet.. Landsat 7 is expected to have a 5 year mission life. The satellite orbits at an altitude of approximately 438 miles. It repeats its coverage of the earth every 16 days. The on-board sensors capture an image area of about 115 miles x 115 miles. Most of the Landast imagery from the past ten years were from satellites 4 and 5. Two types of image data from these satellites are available: MultiSpectral Scanner (MSS) and Thematic Mapper (TM). Landsat 7 uses a new Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+). One of its new features is a panchromatic band (Band 8) with 15 meter resolution. Low cost sample datasets from Landsat 7 are available from the U.S.G.S. EROS Data Center

How fast are such changes taking place? What are the trends? What are the implications of current and projected land cover changes with regard to climate change, ecosystem health, biodiversity, and economic and human well being? INTRODUCTION: Dr. Anthony C. Janetos, Chief, Earth System Modeling and Ecological Processing Branch, Mission to Planet Earth, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington, DC SPEAKERS: Dr. David Skole, Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH Dr. Thomas Loveland, US Geological Survey, EROS Data Center, Sioux Falls, SD OVERVIEW Over the next few decades the global effects of land use and cover change may be as significant, or more so, than those associated with climate change. In addition to playing a role in climate, changes in land use and land cover are direclty linked to many facets of human health and welfare, including biodiversity, food production, and the origin and spread of disease. Yet, we know very little about this important human-caused agent of global change. It is a testament to this paucity of information that there does not now exist an accurate global map of agriculture, nor do we have good global measurements on the rate of forest loss.

39. Our Topic Is Deforestation these effects and come to class prepared to give US some examples. sensing data from existing NASA programs, in particular the Landsat Pathfinder project, with http://www.consbio.umn.edu/CBclass2003/Week 2 deforestation.htm

Questions from Dale Trexel: I would like you to think about the following topics and questions: 1) This seminar is focusing on TROPICAL deforestation and conservation. In what ways are the conservation issues facing tropical forests different from forests (or other terrestrial ecosystems) in other areas? Are the conservation challenges of these forests inherently different from those of other forests, or are they simply the result of the position of tropical forests at the upper end of the biological diversity continuum for terrestrial ecosystems? 2) Politics, power and tropical deforestation: Laurance (1999) discusses four causes of tropical deforestation (population pressure, weak institutions and poor policies, trade liberalization, and tropical logging). The second and third of these both focus on the question of who has the power to control human activities in tropical forests. If many countries are too week and/or poor to control the activities of powerful individuals and international companies in their own forests, how can conservation be achieved? (And a related question: Is ecological colonialism a necessary evil to combat economic colonialism pressures from international corporations?) 3) The value of biodiversity: Laurance et al. (2002) discuss the fact that biodiversity can increase or decrease as a result of deforestation / tropical forest fragmentation, and while they discuss the nature of these changes, they do not evaluate them as positive/negative. Lugo (1995) tends to discuss biodiversity as inherently good and proposes that human intervention, including the use of technology, can result in increased/improved biodiversity. Is more biodiversity inherently better? Should we always seek to increase biodiversity?
