When fires had been suppressed, the FS employed satellite imagery to map and assess changes in the landscape caused by the fires.

Hellenic Mapping and Cadastral Organisation

Ecological monitoring, natural resources mapping, remote sensing and early warning systems

The scatterometer was applied for mapping snow and ice morphology over Antarctica and for soil moisture mapping over the Canadian Prairies.

The networks will incorporate specialized functions such as seabed mapping and tsunami forecasting.

(d) Marine and meteorology, including sea surface temperature mapping ocean wastes mapping coastal management (especially erosion assessment of coral reefs) wave height assessment forecasting of wave conditions on shipping routes fisheries (with emphasis on mapping of coastal habitats and location of fishing grounds) tides and currents (patterns, measurements and observations) and wind speed

Forest applications include forest area estimation and mapping, forest monitoring, forest fire assessment and forest management.

That capability was shown in the development of an ecoregion map of North America, in cooperation with USGS, EPA and Environment Canada under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

RCSSMRS Regional Centre for Services in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing (ECA)

It depicts the complexity of those situations, particularly in Africa and in the Middle East.

In the field of agriculture, satellite images have been used for crop acreage surveys and mapping as well as agricultural planning.

Remote sensing technologies will be used for natural resource surveying and mapping.

RCSSMRS Regional Centre for Services in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing (ECA)

Remote sensing technologies will be used in natural resource surveying and mapping.

Applications were being developed for agriculture, mapping and environmental monitoring.

Considerable activity was developed in Greece concerning Earth observation, in vastly different application areas such as meteorology, climatology, upper air studies, land cover land use, forest mapping, cadastral mapping, marine research etc.

For TPN 4 on ecological monitoring, natural resource mapping, remote sensing and early warning systems

The main aim of SNSB s activities in this field is to promote the use of satellite and other remote sensed data for societal applications with priority for four areas environmental monitoring, forestry, meteorology and topographic mapping.

The Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development used space technology for food security and environmental monitoring flood modelling and prediction modelling and prediction of diseases such as Rift Valley fever and HIV AIDS land degradation mapping and monitoring and monitoring urban sprawl.

(a) Multi temporal ERS 1 SAR data are highly suitable for rice field mapping.

And it uses these sensors to build a map of the environment.

ERS 1 and ERS 2 data have been used for the production of space map at the scale of 1 200,000.

And we've also been hearing about the history, the family tree, of mankind through DNA genetic profiling.

Regional Centre for Services in Surveying Mapping and Remote Sensing (RCSSMRS) research, training and provision of information on natural resource and environmental data through the use of techniques such as surveying, mapping, remote sensing and geographic information systems.

The Internet is transforming the way maps are made, enabling ordinary people dubbed citizen cartographers to work alongside intrepid adventurers and professional geographers. These cartographers whose only common characteristic is Internet access are embracing the opportunity to depict the places that they know and love, whether to help their neighbors get around or to give faraway people a glimpse of their local environments.

ECA will support and assist in the actions to be taken to realize the RCSSMRS vision for 2020, aimed at ensuring the relevance and sustainability of the Centre.

(a) Hazards mapping (natural and man made), including volcanic and seismic hazards earthquakes tsunamis oil spills monitoring flooding vulnerability, assessment and monitoring and disaster management

Nevertheless, in the United States, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) spends only 4 million of its annual budget of more than 10 billion on mapping dangerously close large asteroids. At the current rate, NASA may not complete the task for another decade, even though such mapping is the key to an asteroid defense because it may give us years of warning.

The achieved mapping accuracy in the study was 89 per cent for rice fields against any other land cover

The use of these data for non meteorological purposes started in 1987 with the development of applications in forest fire detection and monitoring, drought monitoring, crop assessment and sea surface temperature mapping.

The other national agencies, among others, the National Coordination Agency for Surveying and Mapping (BAKOSURTANAL), the Agency for Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), the Indonesian Institutes of Sciences (LIPI), the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Forestry have also installed data processing facilities concurrent with their needs.

FAO is preparing a complete coverage of Sierra Leone with satellite image maps on the scale 1 100,000 to support the preparation of land cover maps by national experts.

Shehu And from there we will be able to, hopefully, make better predictions and then we compare it to the graph and also make some predictions.

It will be designed to provide high quality products to satisfy the need of the Mediterranean basin and other users for applications such as civil protection, environmental monitoring, disaster monitoring, agricultural monitoring, cartography and mapping, urban monitoring, coastal monitoring and hydrological resources monitoring.

RCSSMRS of ECA will continue to collect, process and disseminate the data and information provided by the Early Warning System for Food Security project, which is supported by FAO and hosted by RCSSMRS.

FAO will also continue its sister project for the countries in the region of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in cooperation with RCSSMRS and with funding from the Government of France.
