Book excerpt: The Bureau of Land Management, having jurisdiction over the upper Kuskokwim resource management area, requested the U.S. Geological Survey's Earth Resources Observation Systems Anchorage Field Office to produce a digital land cover map of the area to assist in management activities and policy-making processes. Data are stored at a 50-meter pixel size. The classification of the Landsat multispectral scanner resulted in 7 major classes and 24 subclasses.

Book The Routledge Handbook of Indigenous Environmental Knowledge

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Indigenous Environmental Knowledge written by Thomas F. Thornton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an overview of key themes in Indigenous Environmental Knowledge (IEK) and anchors them with brief but well-grounded empirical case studies of relevance for each of these themes, drawn from bioculturally diverse areas around the world. It provides an incisive, cutting-edge overview of the conceptual and philosophical issues, while providing constructive examples of how IEK studies have been implemented to beneficial effect in ecological restoration, stewardship, and governance schemes. Collectively, the chapters in the Routledge Handbook of Indigenous Environmental Knowledge cover Indigenous Knowledge not only in a wide range of cultures and livelihood contexts, but also in a wide range of environments, including drylands, savannah grassland, tropical forests, mountain landscapes, temperate and boreal forests, Pacific and Indian Ocean islands, and coastal environments. The chapters discuss the complexities and nuances of Indigenous cosmologies and ethno-metaphysics and the treatment and incorporation of IEK in local, national, and international environmental policies. Taken together, the chapters in this volume make a strong case for the potential of Indigenous Knowledge in addressing today’s local and global environmental challenges, especially when approached from a perspective of appreciative inquiry, using cross-cultural methods and ethical, collaborative approaches which limit bias and inappropriate extraction of IEK. The book is a guide for graduate and advanced undergraduate teaching, and a key reference for academics in development studies, environmental studies, geography, anthropology, and beyond, as well as anyone with an interest in Indigenous Environmental Knowledge.

Book Wolves Bears and Their Prey in Alaska

Download or read book Wolves Bears and Their Prey in Alaska written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-10-27 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses Alaskan wolf and bear management programs from scientific and economic perspectives. Relevant factors that should be taken into account when evaluating the utility of such programs are identified. The assessment includes a review of current scientific knowledge about the dynamics and management of large mammalian predator-prey relationships and human harvest of wildlife in northern ecosystems, and an evaluation of the extent to which existing research and management data allow prediction of the outcome of wolf management or control programs and grizzly bear management programs. Included is an evaluation of available economic studies and methodologies for estimating the costs and benefits of predator control programs in Alaska.

Book The Vegetation and a Landsat Assisted Land Cover Map of the Barrow Region Northern Alaska

Download or read book The Vegetation and a Landsat Assisted Land Cover Map of the Barrow Region Northern Alaska written by Brian Michael Noyle and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Multispectral Scanner (MSS) imagery at two different spatial scales were employed during this research effort to provide two medium scale (1:63,360) vegetation maps of the Barrow Region on Alaska's North Slope. Detailed field sampling facilitated a site specific accuracy assessment of the digital classification to provide clues as to the reliability of each map. A comparison of the resultant map products was conducted to assess the effect of the resolution of satellite data on the investigator's ability to accurately interpret vegetation pattern in Arctic tundra. Accuracy assessment of the TM and MSS derived map products indicates that both types of remotely sensed imagery are limited in their ability to accurately represent specific vegetation types at the chosen map scale. The TM instrument, with its improvements in spatial, radiometric, and spectral resolution over the MSS sensor, produced a significantly more accurate vegetation map than that derived from the MSS data. It is concluded that the Landsat derived land cover maps prepared during this investigation provide information on the distribution of general vegetation types across the Barrow Region, but do not provide accurate site-specific vegetation data"--Leaf ii
