KBS LTER Geospatial Data Management Suzanne Sippel W.K. Kellogg - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

KBS LTER Site Review May 29 ‐ 30, 2013 KBS LTER Geospatial Data Management Suzanne Sippel W.K. Kellogg Biological Station

Geospatial Data for the KBS LTER  GPS documentation of locations  Aerial photographs  UAV Remote Sensing  Elevation  Yield monitor data  Geographic Information  Geographic Information System (GIS) database

Global Positioning System (GPS) Documentation of Locations Documentation of Locations  High accuracy GPS  Critical with many experimental features in close proximity  Plot boundaries, sampling points, field instrumentation, etc.  Long ‐ term documentation g  GIS mapping of data  Navigate back to stations, equipment after tilling, etc  http://lter.kbs.msu.edu/datatables/83

Color Infrared Color Infrared Aerial Photography  Good to distinguish vegetation and soil moisture soil moisture  Annual images since 1993  http://lterkbs msu edu/airphotos  http://lter.kbs.msu.edu/airphotos  http://lter.kbs.msu.edu/datatables/86

Aerial Photographs Online  NSF supplement in 2012 to geo ‐ rectify images  Color infrared and true color imagery  Facilitates their use in GIS, Google E Earth & image analysis th & i l i  Various formats for different needs  Web Mapping Service  Web Mapping Service  Downloadable as jpg images  KML files for use in Google Map or es o use Goog e ap o Google Earth  http://lter.kbs.msu.edu/airphotos  http://lter.kbs.msu.edu/datatables/86

UAV – Unmanned Aerial Vehicle UAV is equipped with multiple sensors Spatial resolution 5 cm  digital camera (RGB)  digital video  thermal camera  hyper ‐ spectral radiometer  laser scanner (LIDAR) NDWI = (Green ‐ NIR)/(Green+NIR) Vegetation Index used to estimate water content in plants Laser scanner image

Elevation  Important determinant of soil fertility, organic matter, moisture…  Airborne LIDAR elevation  Airborne LIDAR elevation survey  15 cm vertical accuracy  Even more accurate RTK GPS surveys done on some fields  Digital elevation models (DEM)

Geographic Information System (GIS)  M  Most measurements are t t geo ‐ located and GIS ‐ ready  Facilitates spatial comparison of data layers  Visualization of patterns  Data analysis  Spatial interpolation

Serving Map Resources  Many thematic maps are downloadable  http://lter.kbs.msu.edu/r esearch/site description esearch/site ‐ description ‐ and ‐ maps/thematic ‐ maps
