Using Remote Sensing to Quantify Vegetation Change and Ecological Resilience in a Semi-Arid System

Using Remote Sensing to Quantify Vegetation Change and Ecological Resilience in a Semi-Arid System

This research extends upon land cover change studies by incorporating methodological approaches, which are compatible with heterogeneous ecosystems, are able to link landscape changes to system processes, such as climate change, and provide potential linkages to concepts of ecological resilience.
