Overview of Alaska Statewide Vegetation Mapping: Terrestrial Ecosystems Meeting October 2023
The October 2023 meeting of the Terrestrial Ecosystems Community of Practice began with a presentation by Elizabeth Powers (USGS) describing the Alaska Geospatial Council’s plans to develop a statewide suite of vegetation mapping products for Alaska. Gerald (JJ) Frost (ABR) provided an overview of his team’s NASA ABoVE vegetation mapping project in Alaska and how their methods will be utilized for the statewide vegetation mapping initiative. Then, the Terrestrial Ecosystem Community of Practice discussed the outcomes of a recent USGS permafrost workshop and plans to host a broader permafrost-vegetation- disturbance workshop in Alaska in 2024.
