and the remote-sensing of the hydro mechanical
structure and properties of the deep confined fractured-
rock aquifer systems of the Western Cape province by
land- and space-based systems, with particular
reference to the application of EO technologies. Its
focus is an experimental system using a combination
of land-based microgravity and Global Positioning
System (GPS) observations, complemented by
satellite gravity and satellite radar methods for (i)
monitoring deep-aquifer storage changes and (ii)
determining fundamental hydro mechanical properties
of the aquifer such as its bulk compressibility.

Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
(MODIS) satellite sensors in combination with recently
developed atmospheric and water quality algorithms to
examine historic and current trends in this lake
system. At the conclusion of the one year project, local
water management staff will be trained in the use of
this technology. This project will also contribute to our
global understanding of satellite applications for water

of a collaborative network for R&D concerning bioenergy
production in wetlands. This work will contribute to the
implementation of decision support systems using Earth
Observation data for global wetland ecosystems for
sustaining wetland-derived biofuel production. Satellite
data will be used for the mapping of areas of production
and for the evaluation of exportationthrough the

To prioritize the use and conservation of wetlands, the
team
will produce multi-resolution inland valley (IV) wetland
data and map products for all of
West and Central Africa (WCA) encompassing 24
countries, by fusing multiple datasets.
Data sources will be: (a) MODIS 250-500m Terra and
Aqua continuous monthly timeseries
constituting mega-file data cube (MFDC) for 2001-2010;
(b) Global Land Survey
2005 (GLS2005) 30m data, (c) ENVISAT ASAR after
2002 (particularly the widescan
between about 100-150m), ALOS PALSAR wide-beam
data (after 2006), and JERS SAR
100m, (d) Space Shuttle Topographic Mission (SRTM)
90m, and (e) a suite of secondary
datasets (e.g., FAO soils, length of growing period). The
outcome will enable and support
decision-making that will pin-point IV wetland areas that
are (1) best suited for
cultivation, and (2) prioritized for conservation. The
results will be communicated
through in-country contacts, NGOs, Africa SERVIR, and
other contacts with decisionmakers
via the Investigators’ African experiences.

Monitoring global croplands (GCs) is imperative for
ensuring sustainable
water and food security to the people of the world. This
project is aimed at developing methods
and products for producing a 30m global cropland area
database (GCAMS) and statistics by
fusing Mid-decadal Global Land Survey 2005 Landsat
30m data (GLS2005) with Moderate
Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer 250m time-series
data (MODIS250) data, secondary data,
and a large volume of in-situ data. First, the global set of
9770 Landsat images will be
normalized and mosaicked using NASA Ames super
computing facility. Second, a global megafile
data cube (GMFDC) mosaic will be composed involving
about 9770 images of GLS2005,
MODIS 2001-2010 monthly time-composited time-
series, and a suite of secondary datasets (e.g.,
long-term precipitation, temperature, ASTER improved
SRTM elevation) in a single file. Third,
the GCAMSs, that include cropland maps and statistics
for all the countries in the World, will be
produced through automated algorithms based on a
integrated suite of approaches and methods
involving ideal spectral data bank (ISDB), pheno-spectral
matching techniques (SMTs), decision
tree algorithms (DTAs), spectral angle mapper (SAMs),
space-time spiral curves (ST SCs),

The objectives of this multidisciplinary project are to: 1)
identify and model the deforestation associated with
coca cultivation in space and time; 2) quantify the
potential risk of extinction of endemic species from
habitat loss; 3) estimate the threats from agrochemicals
and chemicals used in
coca cultivation and processing; and 4) integrate the
above information into geo-referenced tools that can be
used by interested parties to guide management
decisions and environmental strategies. The central goal
of this project is to fill data gaps by compiling databases,
modeling the spatiotemporal dynamics of coca in
Colombia and its impacts on forests and amphibian
biodiversity, and conducting water and sediment
monitoring.
