[David Alvarez]

*FREE ON-LINE SEMINAR*

*An Overview of Considerations and Methodologies for High Resolution Land
Cover Mapping*

*Sponsored by ASPRS, CaGIS and GLIS*

*Date & Time:* July 25th, 2014, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EDT

The American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) GIS
Division in partnership with the Cartography and Geographic Information
Society (CaGIS) and the Geographic and Land Information Society (GLIS)
would like to invite our members to attend our third online seminar for the
2014 series.

*An Overview of Considerations and Methodologies for High Resolution Land
Cover Mapping*

*Abstract:*  With the vast increase in access to commercially available
high spatial resolution imagery over the past 10 years, there has also been
a surge in the demand for more spatially detailed land cover data.  The
Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) produces nationally standardized
high resolution land cover and land change information for selected coastal
geographies of the U.S. derived from high resolution imagery acquired by
satellite and aerial platforms. C-CAP high resolution products provide a
spatially detailed inventory of coastal intertidal areas, wetlands, and
adjacent uplands, with a goal of monitoring these habitats by updating the
land cover maps every five years.  This seminar will draw from the
experiences of C-CAP over the past eight years to provide attendees with a
summary of the elements and challenges related to high spatial resolution
mapping projects. Topics will include planning and data acquisition, data
integration, classification, and change detection

*About the Speaker: * Chris Robinson is a Senior Remote Sensing Analyst
with The Baldwin Group on contract at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) Coastal Services Center.  He earned a B.S. in
Geography from Frostburg State University, and a Master’s degree in
Geography from the University of South Carolina. For over ten years, Chris
has been working on projects related to land cover and benthic habitat data
development.  In 2005, Chris began serving as lead analyst on an effort
which investigated the development of a high spatial resolution product for
the Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP).  In 2006 this effort went
operational, and since then he has overseen and participated in the
development of high spatial resolution land cover products for various
coastal geographies in the contiguous U.S., Hawaii and the Pacific and
Caribbean territories.
