Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satellite imagery is a valuable tool for environmental monitoring of natural and man-made events. Analysis of imagery within a few hours is vital if these data are to be used to respond to rapidly changing conditions. Since April of 1982 Landsat imagery from the Quick-Look Project at the Geophysical Institute has been available for real-time applications. The system provides near real-time Landsat MSS imagery for applications including monitoring flood hazards, sea ice motion, forest fires and agricultural development. As we move into the 1990s additional satellites with new sensors are being launched which will provide more opportunities for near real-time use. To take advantage of the sensors, additional facilities are needed to receive, process and deliver the data in a timely fashion. Candidate sensors and spacecraft include Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) on Landsat-6; Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on the NOAA polar orbiting satellites; SPOT; Japan's Meteorological Observation Satellite (MOS); OPS (Optical Sensor) on the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite-1 (JERS-1) and the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS). Ongoing projects, such as the Alaska SAR Facility, can provide some components of a multiple satellite receiving system. Such a capability will provide a valuable source of data to study global change in the Arctic. We will describe the capabilities required to use satellite data for environmental monitoring.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this conference was to define and summarize the state of knowledge on the role of the Arctic and Antarctic regions in global change and to identify gaps in knowledge. Topics covered include: detection and monitoring of change : climate variability and climate forcing : ocean/sea ice/atmosphere interactions and processes : effects on biota and biological feedbacks : ice sheet, glacier and permafrost responses and feedbacks : paleoenvironmental studies : aerosols/trace gases.

This book was released on 1973 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A preliminary study has been made of the value of satellite imagery in synoptic surveys of the distribution and environmental interrelationships of permafrost terrain and of coastal sedimentation and related processes in Cook Inlet, Alaska. Earth Resources Technology Satellite multispectral scanner (MSS) imagery was the primary data source for this investigation. Aerial underflight imagery and ground observations of selected sites were secondary data sources. Emphasis has been placed on evaluating the feasibility of mapping permafrost terrain from textural and tonal patterns related to surficial geology and vegetation. A mosaic of a 153,400-sq. km. area in north-central Alaska has been prepared at a scale of 1:1 million. Seven surficial geology, eight vegetative cover and four permafrost terrain units were defined and delineated. Many geomorphic features were also recognized: thaw lakes, stream drainage patterns, glacial moraines, cirques, abandoned glacial valleys and volcanic cones. Preliminary analysis of the regional hydrologic and oceanographic processes in Cook Inlet has been accomplished. It is evident that the distribution of sediments and regional circulation patterns can be monitored using satellite imagery. (Author).
