The Smithsonian Conservation and Research Center is offering the following
advanced GIS and remote sensing course:
Measuring Landcover Change and its Impact on Endangered Species
April 19-23, 2004
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This one-week advanced GIS and remote sensing course provides
conservationists with an opportunity to learn how GIS and remote sensing can
be used to assess the conservation status of endangered species. Each
participant will be provided with their own desktop computer for all lab
exercises. During the hands-on exercises participants will use the Internet,
ArcView, ArcView Spatial Analyst, ERDAS Imagine, Fragstats, and other
spatial analysis programs. Instructors will lead participants step-by-step
through the process of:
* conduct a regional conservation assessment using GIS to determine
critical conservation areas for an endangered species
* acquiring multi-date satellite imagery to quantify land cover change and
to map the extent of the remaining habitat
* using landscape analysis to determine optimal landscape configurations
for conserving the endangered species.
