This
activity
prepares
the
student
to
launch
an
investigation
of
the
relationship
between
precipitation
and
Streamflow
for
a
local
watershed.
It
can
enrich
a
study
of
the
water
cycle.
Following
the
step-by-step
instruction
in
this
case
study,
students
will
locate,
download,
format,
and
finally
graph
one
year
of
Web-based
data
for
these
two
variables.
Included
is
a
graph
that
highlights
the

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

This
chapter
describes
how
to
set
a
scale
and
measure
distances
and
areas
on
satellite
images.
Using
ImageJ,
a
freely
available
image
analysis
program
that
runs
on
most
operating
systems,
users
set
the
spatial
calibration
of
an
image,
then
select
and
measure
distances
and
areas
on
it.
The
measurement
results
are
reported
in
real-world
units.

No
study
of
Maine

would
be
complete
without
analysis
of

New
York,
up
through
Quebec
and
across
to
Maine
