Abstract:

We have been developing a continental-scale map of the North American boreal wetlands based on L-Band SAR imagery collected in 1997-1998 by the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite (JERS). The map currently covers the entire state of Alaska, identifying up to nine wetlands classes and two uplands classes. We have also recently obtained and classified a region of L-Band SAR imagery collected in 2007 by the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Phased Array L-Band SAR (PALSAR). Herein, we compare the results of the PALSAR classification to those of the JERS classification in order to detect changes in wetlands type or extent during the decade-long interval between the two sets of SAR imagery.
