TUTORIAL 7

project planning with NAIP explorer

goal

This tutorial aims to introduce:

  • NAIP imagery
  • image interpretation
  • natural and false color
  • spectral signature charts

By the end of the tutorial, you should have a plan to investigate changes in a region of your choice in this week’s practice problem.

workflow

  1. Please open the NAIP Explorer app.
  2. Choose a study region:
    • please choose some place in the USA (lower 48 is likely best due to data availability) that is not Middlebury, Vermont (though other places in Vermont are fair game);
    • please choose a place that you are either familiar with through past experience or that you are interested in visiting sometime in the future;
    • please choose a region with sufficient geographical diversity to provide five different land cover types (with distinct spectral signatures).
  3. Please complete this form.

The completed form is due by the end of your lab meeting period.
