Group Project Goals


Assess and utilize remote sensing imagery to
evaluate vegetation and the land surface
Become familiar with California climate, plant
species, and physical geography
Incorporate many kinds of environmental
data to answer research questions
Enjoy AVIRIS, MODIS, Landsat,
meteorological stations, GIS data, thermal
wavelengths, etc.
Have fun!
