Applications of Satellite Remote Sensing

Urban Remote Sensing Resources

A compilation of SEDAC-sponsored and other publications and reports  focusing on remote sensing applications in urban areas, as well as providing links to useful resources.

Urban Landsat

The Urban Landsat collection contains images for 66 urban areas and the raw, unerlying data for 28 of these places. Each image shows a Landsat false color composite in UTM projection. The R/G/B layers correspond to TM/ETM+ bands 7/4/2. Each pixel is 30x30 meters in area and most images are 30x30 km in area.

Remote Sensing and Environmental Treaties: Building More Effective Linkages

Reports, publications, and information related to the worksho on Remote Sensing and Environmental Treaties: Building More Effective Linkages held December 2000 at the Woodrow Wilson International Center in Washington, D.C.

Remote Sensing Technologies for Ecosystem Management Treaties

A project focused on the utilization of satellite remote sensing data to improve the effectiveness of ecosystem-oriented multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs), with a focused case study on a Ramsar Wetland and Man and Biosphere Reserve that straddles the Brazil-Uruguay border.
