A combination of geophysical methods could be very a useful and a practical way of verifying the origin and precise localisation of archaeological situations identified by different remote sensing techniques. The results of different methods (and scales) of monitoring these fully non-destructive methods provide distinct data and often complement each other. The presented examples of combination...

This extension note summarizes the application of two new methods that were developed to assess the quality of forest habit that Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) use for nesting in British Columbia: air photo interpretation and low-level aerial surveys. Both methods use comparable sixlevel ranking systems that are based on the availability of forest attributes deemed important for n...

There are growing demands for detailed and accurate land cover maps in land system research and planning. Macro-scale land cover maps normally cannot satisfy the studies that require detailed land cover maps at micro scales. In the meantime, applying conventional pixel-based classification methods in classifying high-resolution aerial imagery is ineffective to develop high accuracy land-cover m...

Remote sensing and GIS are complementary technologies that, when combined, enable improved monitoring, mapping, and management of forest resources (Franklin 2001). The information that supports forest management is stored primarily in the form of forest inventory databases within a GIS environment. A forest inventory is a survey of the location, composition, and distribution of forest resources...

This paper is a definition of photo elicitation and a history of its development in anthropology and sociology. The view of photo elicitation in these disciplines, where the greatest number of photo elicitation studies have taken place, organizes photo elicitation studies by topic and by form. The paper also presents practical considerations from a frequent photo elicitation researcher and conc...

Private aerial hunting of predators for protection of livestock began before 1925 in the western United States. Apparently, it was first used in professional control programs in 1942. Inclement weather, dense vegetation and rough terrain are l i m i t i n g factors and helicopters are more versatile than fixed-wing aircraft. When it can be employed, aerial hunting is unsurpassed as an immediate...
