2 3 The ASPRS Central Region, the Conference Steering Committee, and our friends at ASPRS national headquarters, welcome you to “Images to Decisions: Remote Sensing Foundations for GIS Applications,” the Fall 2004 ASPRS Specialty Conference which focuses on the integration of remote sensing image data into GIS and Decision Support Systems. This conference is aimed at GIS users at the state, regional, local, and tribal levels. In addition to a selection of half-day and full-day workshops on Sunday and Monday, September 12 and 13, this conference features, on Tuesday, a day- long series of Introductory and Advanced “How To” Tutorials, five in each track, lasting about 75 minutes each. Topics range from Remote Sensing Principles & Applications to Decision Support Software for Planners and Resource Managers to Rapid Response Mapping … and more. These demonstration tutorials are included in the conference registration. Tuesday will conclude with a Keynote Address by Ron Birk, director of NASA’s Applications Division for the Office of Earth Science. Birk will share with us his perspectives on how “Earth System Science Research Informs Decision Support Systems for National Priority Applications.” On Wednesday and Thursday, September 15 and 16, technical sessions address applications at the state, regional, local and tribal levels. Each of these sessions will be initiated with an invited Plenary presentation. On Wednesday morning, Rebecca Dodge, from the University of West Georgia, will present the State Plenary, “AmericaView – A State-Based Remote Sensing Initiative in Partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey.” In the afternoon, Chester Arnold, from the University of Connecticut, will deliver “At the Intersection of Remote Sensing and Local Land Use: Tales from the NEMO Network,” the subject of the Local Plenary. On Thursday morning, we will hear from Ivy Owen of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, and Brenda Burroughs, with OrbImage Inc. and formerly with the Choctaw’s Applied Geo Technologies, Inc., who will address “Mississippi Band of Choctaw

2 3 Indian’s use of GIS and Remote Sensing to Manage Tribal Lands and Promote High Technology.” In the afternoon, Mark DeMulder, from the U.S. Geological Survey, will deliver the Regional Plenary on “The National Map: Perspectives on Three Years of Implementation.” All four plenary sessions and their accompanying technical sessions and panels should be of interest to all conference attendees and provide a broad palette from which to choose. For those of you attending committee meetings or participating in workshops early in the week, tickets for a Monday night baseball game between the Kansas City Royals and the New York Yankees are available for purchase. In addition, there will be an Exhibitors’ Reception on Tuesday evening – all are invited. We thank all of those involved in helping to organize this conference, including not only the steering committee, the ASPRS national staff, numerous volunteers, the exhibitors and sponsors, but also the regional hosts, presenters, and invited speakers. We’re glad to see both familiar faces and newcomers to GIS and remote sensing here in Kansas City … home of ragtime composer Scott Joplin and saxophonist Charlie Parker … site of the Kansas City Jazz Museum and the Kansas City Art Institute … a city rich in culture and history, to which we hope “Images to Decisions: Remote Sensing Foundations for GIS Applications” makes a contribution.

WS #5 — Integrating Imagery into your GIS: Practical Issues and Real Options 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. CEU 0.8. Chouteau Room B th James Smith, The Nature Conservancy The world of imagery and GIS are expanding tremendously. While it is assumed by many that these imagery and GIS data are always compatible, it takes knowledge of both worlds to merge them effectively. GIS professionals must make decisions about how to integrate imagery, with serious cost and data quality ramifications. Many GIS professionals were not well trained to answer these questions, or their training is out-of-date. Therefore, the purposes of this workshop are: 1) to identify the major issues of integrating imagery into an operational GIS, 2) to identify and discuss solutions to everyday image integration problems, and 3) to look at future developments and how they might affect integration strategies.

Popescu, Texas A&M University The overall goal of this workshop is to introduce participants to the Lidar technology and its applications in forestry. More specific objectives are to: (1) familiarize participants with basic Lidar and laser ranging concepts; (2) introduce types of Lidar sensors for environmental applications; (3) review algorithms for deriving bare Earth elevation with small-footprint Lidar; (4) present 3D feature extraction algorithms for seeing the trees in the forest; and

(5) introduceprogram participants to TreeVaW, a Lidar processing software for identifying and measuring individual trees on a Lidar-derived canopy height model. This workshop is intended to be a half-day workshop at intermediate level, as the participants are expected to have a basic understanding of remote sensing techniques and image processing.

Earth System Science Research Informs Decision Support Systems for National Priority Applications Ron Birk, Director, NASA Applications Division for the Office of Earth Science Successful Earth science programs link knowledge to action, requiring interaction between the scientists and researchers who produce knowledge and the decision

makers who use it. The opportunity is in linking the th demand side (decision makers who work with national and international policy and management tools) and the supply side (knowledge resulting from scientists who work on Earth system science). A critical component of such an approach is a global information infrastructure of observation systems that collect data about Earth’s planetary system, along with the means to synthesize the data into the information necessary for effective decision making. NASA’s Earth Science Enterprise works in collaboration with national and international partners to contribute to such an infrastructure, enabling an end-to-end capacity from research to applications. The available Earth system science inventory includes hundreds to thousands of sensors on over 70 Earth-observation satellites, providing

The Consortium is the federal government’s primary partner in achieving the AV Program vision and goals, which focus on helping the th university, secondary-education, and public sectors in each state identify, develop, and distribute the kinds of remote sensing applications each state needs most. The USGS AV Program is a data infrastructure, data processing, and data delivery initiative administered by the USGS under the Land Remote Sensing (LRS) Program and carried out at USGS facilities. Primary activities for this effort are undertaken by the USGS Earth Resources Observation System (EROS) Data Center (Sioux Falls, South Dakota) in conjunction with other LRS priorities such as the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM). The AmericaViewSM Consortium is comprised of university-led, state-based consortia working together to build a nationwide network of state and local users. AmericaViewSM supports the goals of the AV Program by further expanding communications networks, facilities, and capabilities for acquiring and sharing remotely sensed data among AmericaViewSM members. The Consortium is actively working with the USGS and universities across the country to expand participation in the AV Program to all 50 states. september 15 wednesday, 24 25 The need for AmericaView has been building for more than 30 years. Since the early 1970s, the federal government and private sector have spent billions of dollars on satellite-based earth observing systems and have worked with the research community to identify, develop, and distribute real-world applications for mapping, monitoring, and managing natural and environmental resources. Unfortunately, development and distribution of real- world applications have persistently been tough issues for both the federal government and the academic research community. Satellite data is expensive, and using the data requires significant investments in software, hardware, and training. It has often been hard for university researchers to use or even access the data, particularly at

smallerprogram schools or research facilities. For three decades this has hindered applied research and made it difficult to train the workforce, both current and future. This has also meant that many state and local agencies that work with applied research programs have not been able to effectively integrate remote sensing technology into their management or decision-support programs. The AmericaViewSM Consortium is charged with helping each state overcome these difficulties by establishing university- led state consortia, and with facilitating inter-state networking and mentoring to support technology transfer.

Rebecca L. Dodge Rebecca L. Dodge is an associate professor at the State University of West Georgia, where she teaches remote sensing, image processing, and petroleum play analysis classes. She is also the director of the GLOBE Teacher Training Partnership at UWG, and director of the GeorgiaView Consortium.

26 27 gravity, magnetics, seismic, and petrophysics. She conducted data integration and basin analyses in North and South America, Africa, Australia, Asia, and Western Europe, using satellite and airborne VNIR and radar imagery in conjunction with available subsurface data sets. She was also dean of the Satellite Imagery Interpretation School, designed to train Exxon affiliates worldwide in the applications of remote sensing and data integration to exploration. In 1989 Dodge joined the staff of Hunt Overseas Oil Company as senior photogeologist, where she applied satellite and airborne imagery to international exploration mapping and planning in South America, Africa, China, and the Middle East. She also provided training in remote sensing applications and in structural styles interpretation for play analysis. From 1992 to 1995, she participated in petroleum exploration programs in Portugal and China with Charles F. Dodge and Associates, Inc. and Eastward Oil Company. In the late 1990s Dodge was a research specialist in Remote Sensing Applications at the Pan American Center for Earth and Environmental Studies (PACES), where she developed industry-oriented training programs to demonstrate the applications of remotely sensed satellite and airborne data in minerals and petroleum exploration. She is a past president of the Dallas Geological Society, and served

during 2002 as president of AAPG’s Energy Minerals th Division. She is the past chairman of The Geosat Committee, Inc., a non-profit group formed in 1975 to represent the remote sensing exploration user community.

At the Intersection of Remote Sensing and Local Land Use: Tales from the NEMO Network Chester Arnold, University of Connecticut In recent years remote sensing science and land use decision making, once worlds apart, have begun to intersect – to the benefit of both disciplines. This is due in part to advances in technology, but also to the development of creative applications and effective outreach education that make technology accessible and useful at the community level. Land use decision making program is local, political and complex, and land use decision makers pose a particularly thorny target audience for geospatial applications. At the University of Connecticut, remote sensing and land use first came together in 1991, with the creation of the Nonpoint Education for Municipal Officials (NEMO) Project. Since that time, NEMO has not only thrived in Connecticut, but has been the model for a national network of projects in 31 states, all using geospatial technology in the service of educating and assisting local land use decision makers. Along the way, project principals have made some mistakes, developed some interesting applications, and in general learned some lessons about both the power and pitfalls of using remote sensing and GIS to inform local land use. The potential is practically limitless, but more creativity, resources, and on-the-ground effort are needed to continue to bridge the gap between the geospatial and land use worlds.

Chester Arnold Chester Arnold is a water quality educator for the University of Connecticut Department of Extension, and the associate director of UConn’s Center for Land use Education and Research (CLEAR), established in 2002. Since 1991, Arnold has been co-director of the NEMO Project, a national award-winning effort that uses remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) technology to educate local land use decision makers about the relationship between land

32 33 use and water resource protection. NEMO is also the nerve center for the National NEMO Network, a group of 34 affiliated projects in 31 states that are sharing educational techniques and tools. From 1987 to 1994, Arnold led the public outreach program of the Long Island Sound Study National Estuary Program. He has authored numerous publications, including national award-winning journal articles and a newspaper column entitled “On Long Island Sound.” Arnold has a BS in Environmental Sciences from Wesleyan University and a MS in Oceanography from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
