The CRMS undertakes projects involving the use and integration of GIS, remote sensing, photogrammetry and GPS methods and technologies for environmental and natural resource management applications.For
example, the CRMS has completed highly detailed vegetation maps of national parks in the
southeastern A multiyear contract with the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) is focused on assessing the potential of images recorded by the new generation of high-resolution commercial satellites for creating highly detailed map databases of littoral regions. Other
CRMS projects have included
evaluations of the cartographic potential of Landsat, SPOT and Shuttle Imaging
Radar, photogrammetric assessments of erosion
from cropland throughout the United States, automated feature extraction from satellite images
for
digital map revision and GIS studies of agricultural land, wetlands and tropical forests to assess
man's impact on the environment.
