Extractions: CIESIN Thematic Guides Welcome to the CIESIN guide on remote sensing. The purpose of this guide is to help you find selected key documents and data sets vital to understanding the use of satellite remote sensing to study the human dimensions of global environmental change. Satellite remote sensing technology and the science associated with evaluation of its data offer potentially valuable information for assisting human dimensions research studies. The human dimensions of global environmental change consist of the driving forces and the resultant actions of mankind capable of affecting the Earth system and its processes. From a fundamental perspective, the relevant types of human actions are those that have accompanied the historical development of civilization and technology, and that now are reaching epic proportions due to the continually expanding human population. In "A Framework for Research on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change," Jacobson and Price (1990) group such actions into five major categories: 1) fossil fuel consumption; 2) biomass fuel consumption; 3) land use change; 4) agricultural activities; and 5) halocarbon production and release. Human actions involving biomass fuel consumption, land-use change, and agricultural activities all involve direct interaction with the global land surface. The extent of these interactions has prompted concern about the possible effects on the global physical, chemical, and biological systems. In particular, large-scale changes in land use at rates unprecedented in human history are provoking considerable concern. Land-use change is frequently accompanied by alterations or changes in land cover, which may possibly contribute to subsequent environmental change.

ACRES is one in a network of ground stations covering most of the world. Satellite imagery is a useful tool in managing fires and their effects. You can now view and download Australia from space thanks to a picture mosaic of 369 Landsat satellite images available on our website. LANDSAT 7 ETM+, Path 108/83, 5 November 2002 The Landsat image above features a section of the southern coastline of Western Australia. The bright red areas in the image are recent fire scars. (New vegetation is visible as shades of red). Lake Dundas is visible top left as light blue, and is likely to be mainly a salt lake during the dry season. The City of Esperance is about the centre of the coastline with Kalgoorlie (not visible) located to the north.

Extractions: Much of human history can be traced through the impacts of human actions upon the environment. The use of remote sensing technology offers the archeologist the opportunity to detect these impacts which are often invisible to the naked eye. This information can be used to address issues in human settlement, environmental interaction, and climate change. Archeologists want to know how ancient people successfully adapted to their environment and what factors may have led to their collapse or disappearance. Did they overextend the capacity of their landscape, causing destructive environmental effects which led to their demise? Can this information be applied to modern day societies so that the mistakes of the past are not repeated? Remote sensing can be used as a methodological procedure for detecting, inventorying, and prioritizing surface and shallow-depth archeological information in a rapid, accurate, and quantified manner. Man is a tropical creature who has invaded every environment on earth successfully; now we are ready to explore, and eventually colonize, the delicate environments of Space. Understanding how ancient man successfully managed Earth is important for the success of current and future societies. "The stereotype has archaeologists just digging up spearheads and pottery and anthropologists just writing down the words of primitive tribes. But we're examining how people adapted to their environment throughout time, how they experienced environmental shift, why cultures come and go. Soils associated with artifacts are as important as the artifacts themselvesprobably more relevant to us than the actual objects. Now more than ever, archaeological research is interdisciplinary: botany, forestry, soil science, hydrologyall of which contribute to a more complete understanding of the earth, climatic shifts, and how people adapt to large regions. This understanding is critical to future decision making affecting the planet.

Extractions: The Danish Center for Remote Sensing (DCRS) was established in February of 1994 on a grant of 50 million kroner from the Danish National Research Foundation (Danmarks Grundforskningsfond). It is part of and located at the section Electromagnetic Systems (EMI) in the ØrstedDTU department at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The centre conducts research relating to instruments for remote sensing and their application to Earth observation and Earth Science. DCRS research project presently includes technology demonstration programs relating to the implementation of next generation microwave remote sensing systems, processing of airborne and satellite SAR data, and the application of remote sensing for scientific applications and commercial mapping.

Extractions: Since its inception, FARS has been applied to the regular study of high-level cirrus clouds in support of basic research and the satellite validation effort of Project FIRE through its Extended Time Observations (ETO) component. As of this time, more than 2,000 hours of ruby lidar ETO data from high level clouds has been collected from FARS: a subset of this unique observational data record intended for climatological and satellite research, with explanations, is provided in the FARS on-line dataset section below. Current support for FARS observations comes from NSF and NASA for basic cirrus cloud and FIRE ETO satellite studies, the NASA Atmospheric Effects of Aviation Project for aircraft contrail/cirrus research, and the DOE ARM program for multiple remote sensor cloud retrieval algorithm development. Data from FARS and the field campaigns also support our cloud microphysical and radiative transfer modeling research components at the Department of Meteorology.
