Remote sensing in management of mining land and proximate habitat

The societal and environmental impacts of mining activity are the focus of greater interest today than ever before. Many emerging economies are in the process of developing environmental policies for the first time. These new policies will surely affect how mining operations are expected to perform: producing the raw material needed to drive the economy at the lowest possible cost becomes as im...

Multi-scale Forest Habitat Monitoring Using Remote Sensing Data

Remote sensing imagery and advanced image analysis methods show high potential for monitoring forest habitat issues. The objective of this paper is to provide ready-to-use information on forest habitats by conducting a multi-scale approach for the delineation of such, and the assessment of their conservation status on multi-spectral satellite imagery of high and very high spatial resolution, as...

Managing Loggerhead Shrike Habitat Using Remote Sensing Products

The prairie population of the loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus excubitorides) is dependent upon two characteristics of a grassland landscape that require specific management to maintain: shrubs taller than 1.8 m tall for nesting and tall grass for foraging. The purpose of this study is to measure the landscape variables that are important to loggerhead shrike persistence at landscape spat...

Automatic Habitat Classification Using Aerial Imagery

Habitat classification and its applications (e.g. habitat monitoring, identification of rare species, etcetera) are important challenges researched by environmental bodies and mapping agencies. However, manual habitat classification is labour intensive, costly, subjective and time consuming (Chen and Rau, 1997). From an image processing perspective, habitat classification can be achieved using ...
