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.

"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.

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.

Lab: "Multi-Temporal Image Analysis"
In this lab, we will examine a three-date Landsat MultiSpectral Scanner (MSS) time series using several change-detection methodologies. These procedures provide a simple method (multi-temporal color composites) for quickly assessing the temporal change information content of a three-date Landsat image series. This visual assessment is vital when examining global change research proposals by giving the user a rapid means of determining the major temporal trends in the image series.

"IFRI Research Methods and Discussion"
The International Forestry Resources and Institutions (IFRI) research program represents a truly collaborative, interdisciplinary, and international effort to study relations among forests, the people who use forest products, and their institutions for forest management. Fifteen collaborating research centers in thirteen countries belong to the IFRI research network. IFRI researchers use a common set of social and natural scientific methods and contribute their data to a growing international database. This session traces IFRI's history to earlier projects on common-pool resources and irrigation systems in the 1980s, introduces the IFRI conceptual model and methods for data collection, and explains the use of a relational database to store that data. IFRI's accomplishments will be highlighted through discussion of selected IFRI studies and their findings. The organization of the research program as a collaborative network and its implications will be touched upon as well.

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.

GIS Lecture #2: "GIS Database Construction"
This session discusses methods of constructing spatially explicit datasets. In particular, data formats, data import/export, secondary data sources, and pre-processing of primary data are discussed. The goal of this session is to provide participants with the information necessary to evaluate what data are appropriate for spatial representation and the sources of error involved with GIS database construction. Participants are encouraged to discuss specific elements of their research to assess the utility of a spatial component to their work. Participants who want to have specific discussions relevant to their projects are welcome to approach CIPEC faculty and staff.
