Lecture: "Radiometric Calibration"
By converting raw Landsat satellite image Digital Numbers (DNs) to the surface reflectance values, radiometric calibration permits the comparison of satellite data across time, space, and wavelength -- an essential element in monitoring global environmental change. These calibrated data can then also be compared to physical measures from other disciplines.

"Population and Environment"
The field of population and environment research represents a subset of the larger field of research on the human dimensions of global environmental change. Population and environment research focuses on the relationship between key characteristics of the human population (size, composition, and distribution) or key demographic events (birth, death, migration, family formation or dissolution), and environmental change. This session will: (1) examine theories explicitly linking population and environmental change as well as building on previously considered demographic theories; (2) briefly summarize research results; and (3) consider the difficulties encountered in bringing together data for population and environment studies.

Lecture: "Remote Sensing and Global Change"
Madagascar often is used as an example of environmental degradation. As a worst case scenario, deforestation and subsequent soil erosion in Madagascar are often found in the popular press, and the Malagasy are often portrayed as the villains in these stories. But is this depiction accurate? European researchers Fairhead and Leach have recently challenged these tales of African environmental destruction as unsubstantiated by the evidence, and merely an extension of colonial-era "orthodoxy" or "received wisdom" (Fairhead, J., and M. Leach. 1996. Misreading the African Landscape: Society and Ecology in a Forest-Savanna Mosaic. New York: Cambridge University Press. ). We will examine these issues for Madagascar and the Malagasy and how remote sensing and land-cover change mapping play a role in this dialogue.

"Mesoamerica Research Discussion"
CIPEC's work in Mesoamerica focuses on sites in Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. Processes of forest change vary from severe degradation and clearing to successful management with afforestation. The processes relate to local organizational capacity and priorities, as well as interactions with regional, national, and international policies and pressures. This discussion will address recent research in the region, including the results of analyses that address landscape dynamics and trajectories, and accessibility factors. It will explore theoretical challenges and puzzles for comparative studies of human dimensions of forest change across sites in the region.

Lecture and 3-D Slide Show: "Forest Structure and Remote Sensing"
Establishing the physical basis for satellite-derived reflectance values is essential for global change studies. In this lecture we examine several key forest biophysical phenomena: leaf area index, leaf morphology, and monolayer/multilayer leaf distribution strategies. These ecologically sensitive parameters can then be related to satellite-derived reflectance values. A 3-D slide show will show these concepts using examples from temperate deciduous and tropical wet and dry forests.

"Collective Action"
Even when successful collective action for resource management yields benefits for all resource users, individual resource users often face strong incentives to allow others to provide the collective good without making a contribution themselves. Research on collective action has identified a wide variety of factors that are expected to influence the prospects for collective action. Empirical and experimental studies to assess these hypotheses are accumulating. This session covers basic models of collective action, introduces some of the most prominent hypotheses about successful collective action, and identifies lingering puzzles. Attention is given to the challenges associated with empirical studies of collective action.

A brief description of the CIPEC forest plot form, tools, data collection, etc., as well as a description of the CIPEC training sample form. A short discussion of GPS will follow: how and why, and its relevance to using GIS and remote sensing to assess forest cover and conditions. During the second half of this session we will be outside to put our training into practice using GPS equipment to do training samples and conduct a CIPEC forest plot.
