They
randomly
select
a

count
the
number
of
fields
in
that

and
estimate
how

This
chapter
walks
users
through
a
technique
for
documenting
change
in
before-and-after
sets
of
satellite
images.
The
technique
can
be
used
for
any
set
of
time-series
images
that
are
spatially
registered
to
show
the
exact
same
area
at
the
same
scale.
In
the
chapter,
users
examine
three
Landsat
images
of
the
Pearl
River
delta
in
southeastern
China.
In
these
images,
users
observe
changes
in

This inquiry-based, classroom activity explores the impact of climate change and variability on forests. It focuses on the impact of climate change on a sugar maple farm in New England. The scenario invites students to examine higher-level issues of climate variability and change by creating a practical, scientifically-sound model to address specific points of a localized socioeconomic situation.
