Integrating Remote Sensing and Field Measurements to Identify Environmental Nonstationarity on Interior Alaska DoD Training Lands

Abstract

This one-year SEED project was conducted to characterize contemporary heterogeneity in landscape change occurring across Alaska with a focus on DoD training lands in Interior Alaska. This study was designed to integrate observations from visible, near-infrared, thermal (VIS-NIRTIR) and microwave satellite remote sensing to detect shifts in three Earth System Indicators: 1) Terrain Thermal State; 2) Ecosystem Water Stress; 3) Vegetation State.
