Of all the issues for humanity to address, the global environmental
change is the most important in view of human activities in the
future.
Aiming at contributing broadly to the environmental study,
EEco/Oceanography and Limnology WG intends to apply ASTER data
to use in mapping and monitoring various ecosystems on the
globe.
The Working Group develops and refines algorithms and makes
validation plans with ASTER data for mapping and monitoring
coral reefs, forests, wetlands, agricultural lands, arid lands,
lake, coastal regions, Sea Ice and others.
