Aerial Sensing

Type: Extent of habitat (i.e., area of habitat and whether there has been a decline).

Category: Upland

Cost: Unknown

Description: UNH is currently documenting remote sensing techniques to quantify impervious surfaces -- the necessary technique will like require high-resolution (1 meter) satellite imagery. NHEP will work with UNH to find funding for the data acquisition and processing.

Outcome: Accurate impervious surface data that can be linked to land use action plans and ongoing water quality investigations.
