Land, water, and climate-based issues have driven Canada’s evolution from sectoral to integrated resource management and sustainable development, and made it a leader in geographic information, monitoring, and decision support systems. Widespread conflicts over the sustain- ability of land and resource use sparked the federal and provincial governm...
Since the mid-1960's Canada has played a leading role in innovation in the field of geo-information science, technology and applications. Early visionaries were instrumental to this success. Leading change in today's rapidly changing society requires more than the vision of a few; it requires the strategic insight and foresight of all professionals...
Relationships of landscape ecology and land use planning and management are discussed. The significance of an ecological data base for national, regional and local planning is considered from a Canadian perspective, relating ecological land classification hierarchy to the various levels of management, and describing developments in survey methodolo...
Satellite imagery can provide a basic operational tool for a rapid resource survey in combination with existing black andwhite photography and supported by selected airborne sensing. -from Author
A volume devoted to the proceedings of a meeting held to discuss the objectives and terms of reference of the Canada committee on ecological (biophysical) land classification. The volume includes the recommendations of the meeting, and a summary of the business sessions, and a collection of 24 papers which are devoted to the present status of land...
This study was carried out to evaluate the environmental factors which influence the distribution and collapse of perennially frozen peats in the southern part of the discontinuous permafrost zone in Manitoba. The changes in permafrost bodies were measured by means of aerial photography carried out over a period of 20 years. About 25 per cent of th...
Multi-band photography, multispectral scanning and microwave sensors have added additional dimensions to the information that can be gathered quickly and repeatedly. Satellite platforms provide an effective mechanism to monitor environmental changes that may have a bearing on permafrost ecosystems. The approach to interpreting remotely sensed data...
