"Global Change Issues, Research Agenda, and Scaling Issues"
CIPEC's research strategy and methods will be introduced as part of the research agenda on the Human Dimensions of Global Change (HDGC). The lecture will discuss scaling issues in the study of global change, the integration of ideas, the interaction of institutions, population, socioeconomic processes, and environment.

Lecture: "Introduction to Remote Sensing"
This lecture will cover the basic physics of light used in remote sensing and briefly outline use of the Landsat satellite system. The radiation regimes of the Sun and the Earth will be explored and the Landsat MultiSpectral Scanner (MSS), Thematic Mapper (TM), and Enhance Thematic Mapper + (ETM+) instruments will be described.

"Indiana Research Discussion"
One of the study areas in which CIPEC is examining questions of deforestation and reforestation is Monroe County, Indiana (where Bloomington is located). Specific research questions include: What are the social and spatial factors contributing to forest-cover regrowth? What are the major actors affecting land-cover change? What techniques can be used to model and predict areas of future land-cover change? This session will address the above questions for the Monroe County study area and discuss research methods and data requirements being applied to answer these questions.

Lecture: "Spatial and Temporal Satellite Image Sampling"
Remotely sensed satellite images can provide both spatial and temporal information at multiple scales for assessing and monitoring global environmental change, and several important data sources can now be searched via the Internet. For example, the EROS Data Center (EDC) of the USGS has developed "Earth Explorer," found on the World Wide Web, which allows the user to search for available satellite images at specific locations, evaluate quality, and view color composites of the images on line.

Lecture: "Exploratory Image Analysis"
Satellite images can provide essential information for identifying and monitoring important global change phenomena, but they can also overwhelm the data analyst because of their inherent data volume. For example, a single Landsat Thematic Mapper scene contains the same information content as a spreadsheet with nine variables and about 40 million cases (nearly 300 MB of data).

Lab: "Exploratory Image Analysis"
This lab presents several simple techniques for examining different aspects of the satellite image "data cube." These include the use of single-band gray-tone images, color composites made of three individual bands, reflectance spectra, histograms, scatter-plots, and unsupervised classification techniques. These methods provide the user with several rapid means to explore the information content of satellite images.

"Forest Ecology"
This session will provide an overview of important topics in forest ecology with an emphasis upon techniques used to inventory and analyze various aspects of forests. Topics will include the theoretical basis for the most important measurements and will move to specific examples of how to conduct forest inventories. Sampling techniques for soils and vegetation will be discussed. The most widely used measurements of individual trees and forest stands will be presented in preparation for a field exercise.
