Landsat Enhancement Procedures and Key, Central Yukon Area

Enhancements of Landsat satellite scenes of lands within the Central Yukon Planning Area were made during FY '84. Computer manipulations improved our ability to interpret basic vegetation types. The enhancements were made to provide basic fuels and land cover information which could then be used for fire management planning and to depict the general distribution of wildlife habitat. Information could also be used to assess the general suitability of any area for settlement. Necessary work included overflights of BLM land and manipulation of Landsat computer data at the U.S. Geological Survey EROS Field Office in Anchorage. Work was performed by personnel from the BLM Northwest Resource Area and BLM Alaska State Office Branch of Photogrammetry.
