Geospatial Data
K-16 Education
The purpose of this section of the Web site is to make Landsat images and supporting
literature available to the K-12 audience. Landsat images can provide
teachers and their students with a means of understanding how their communities
make decisions that can impact biodiversity and the climate. In addition,
the site also provides interdisciplinary lessons and activities for K-12
students that teachers can use to introduce the concepts of GIS, remote
sensing, and impervious surfaces into their curriculums. K-12 teachers
and their students have been actively involved in this project through
their efforts to collect ground-truth data on land cover throughout the
Chesapeake Bay basin.
