U. S. Geological Survey Sources of Photographs and Images of Biosphere Reserves Taken from Spacecraft and Aircraft, Sequoia - Kings Canyon National Park, California. Project No. 8. Conservation of Natural Areas and of the Genetic Material They Contain

摘要

Photographs and images of biosphere reserves taken from spacecraft and aircraft provide a significant data base showing broad views and details of the landscape and are invaluable in searching for changes and trends in forest cover, water area, and other diagnostic landscape features. Each data report in this series lists remotely sensed data gathered from spacecraft and aircraft available for a single biosphere reserve. Computer listings of data are provided by the EROS Data Center of the U.S. Geological Survey, which contains in its archives all of the listed material in photographic form and, in the case of Landsat images, can make available computer-compatible magnetic tapes of any Landsat scene.
