Remote Sensing & Photo Interpretation Final

For my final project for this class, I decided to do a Land Use Land Cover analysis of the Lake Tahoe Basin region.  As you can see, it remains mostly mixed forest, however urbanization is the on rise.

Maple Sap Production in the Acadian National Forest Abstract

Clear-cutting is a traditional practice in the timber industry that generally has negative connotations.  This study focuses on an area in the Acadian National Forest and attempts to evaluate the clear-cut areas for maple sap production.  A variety of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques and analyses were performed.  If enough trees prove to be sufficient in sap production, currently and in the future, then this will provide a productive alternative to clear cut areas.  A cross tabulation was created of the distances it would take to haul the sap to the nearby roads.  Results were then created and presented.
