"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.

"Africa Research Discussion"
Africa offers specific and unique conditions with regard to change in forest cover and condition. While CIPEC's research in the Western Hemisphere has allowed for a cohesive program to focus on forest ecosystems that are represented over significantly large areas of the globe, it is recognized that the significantly different institutional environments of Africa present unique challenges to our growing understanding of how human societies intersect with forested land resources. In this regard, CIPEC seeks to move forward with work in a select number of sites in Africa where in-country colleagues, research efforts, and datasets already exist. CIPEC research in these sites will serve to facilitate both comparative efforts and the testing of hypotheses from our work in the Western Hemisphere, and will further theoretical development, especially in those areas which diverge significantly from the Americas, such as the roles of land tenure, history, decision making, fragmentation, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. Two sites in Madagascar and one in Uganda have been selected, and CIPEC is presently processing satellite imagery and planning for summer fieldwork. We present here the initial constructs of the research plan for Africa, and some of the relevant issues that have drawn us to these specific sites.

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).

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.

"Land Tenure and Legal Pluralism"
The field of legal pluralism has progressed quickly and impressively in recent years, with land tenure playing a significant role in its development. Legal pluralism generally denotes separate social fields of "legality" where different loci of authority overlap and interact. This interaction over time can take a number of paths from progressive legal reconciliation between fields to increasing separation or multiplication of fields, depending upon the nature of the interaction and attendant relevant sociopolitical, economic and resource-related forces. Legal pluralism with regard to land tenure signifies the different sets of rights and obligations about land and property, as these reside within multiple social fields or normative orders. This lecture will focus on the development of legal pluralism and will focus on the relationship between formal and informal property rights regimes, and the repercussions for land use and land-cover change in the developing world.
