Description:
|
Traditional approaches to identifying and differentiating landscape features and landforms from the landscape remain time-intensive and highly subjective, which limit our ability to assess changes over large geographic areas. Subjectivity due to the person interpreting the features introduces spatially variable amount of error into the change assessment. The purpose of this project is to expand on existing approaches and develop new approaches for objectively differentiating landscape features, which can be automated. The project will utilize existing geographic information systems (GIS) and work to develop new custom approaches. Team members may have the opportunity to be listed as co-authors on publications and/or presentations related to this research. It is also possible that team members may present this research at Student Research Week and/or one or more regional/national professional conferences. |
