Symposium on Remote-Sensing for Vegetation Damage Assessment

The Symposium on Remote Sensing for Vegetation Damage Assessment was convened in Seattle, Washington, in 1978. It was held to discuss pertinent aspect of remote sensing relative to vegetation damage. It was called as a forum to analyze the present activity in the field and to formulate resolutions to further special activities. Some of the titles of the papers were: Pre-visual detection of stressed loblolly pine, The effect of canopy structure on the measured and calculated reflectance of conifer forests in Michigan, Applications of the photometric process and monitoring vegetation damage due to external stresses, Digital analysis of LANDSAT data in the detection and mapping of spruce budworm selectively and defoliation in northern Wisconsin, The use of CIR aerial photography for Dutch Elm detection, Use of color infrared aerial photography for documenting baseline vegetation stress on environmental impact assessment, Detecting the effects of SO2 emissions on vegetation by remote sensing, detection of Amarilla root rot damage with color infrared photography, Washington State Forest insect survey-combining aerials sketch map and remote sensing techniques, Mapping of burnt area in prescribed burning using large-scale CIR photos, Inundation damage to vegetation and selected New England flood control reservoirs.
