Abstract :
Contiguous spectral measurements in the image domain made by the NASA Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) have been used to advance a range of Terrestrial Ecology science investigation over the past two decades. Currently there are hundreds of relevant refereed journal articles. The calibrated, high signal-to-noise ratio measurements of AVIRIS are used to investigate terrestrial ecology topics related to: (1) Pattern and Spatial Distribution of Ecosystems and their Components, (2) Ecosystem Function, Physiology and Seasonal Activity, (3) Biogeochemical Cycles, (3) Changes in Disturbance Activity, and (4) Ecosystems and Human Health.
