  2. Nez Perce Tribe • Laurie Ames, Remote Sensing Analyst - - Land cover/use detection through Remote Sensing (NASA Grant) • Jennifer Jensen, University of Idaho -Predicating Forest Biophysical  Properties with LiDAR  Atoms for peace. Man is still the greatest miracle and the greatest problem on this earth. ~David Sarnoff

Gross, Inc (LiDAR) NASA – Stennis Space Center Ascent GIS (SPOT, IRS) USDA/USFS Fire Sciences Lab University of Montana (MODIS) SPOT Image Corporation Battelle/PNNL HyVista Corporation (Hyperspectral) Partners The beginning is the most important part of the work.  ~Plato

  4. 1. Landcover & Landuse Classification Crop Map 2. Road Delineation WEPP 3. Vegetation greenness, stress & drought 4. Forest Characterization 5. Hazard Rating of Invasive Weeds Task Objectives First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end. ~Aristotle

  21. Thank You Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, 'Press on,' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. ~Calvin Coolidge Contact: Laurie Ames ext. 2619 lames@nezperce.org
