37 1919 Photo by J. Sayre, National Geographic Overlooking area between Lake Grosvenor and lower Savonoski River in 1919 (J. Sayre) and 2005 (T. Jorgenson). Trees and shrubs have overgrown most of the rock outcrops visible in the original image. A lake bottom (far right background) has also drained and become vegetated. Absent in 1919, crustose lichens are now conspicuous on the rocks around Sayre s toppled cairn. This almost certainly represents recovery after disturbance rather than expansion. A possible cause of lichen mortality was acid rain following the eruption of Novarupta in photo courtesy National Geographic Society.

45 Issues with Using High-res Creating time series (availability, quality) Spatial control (ground, image to image) Co-registration accuracy Whole photo versus subset Resolution differences, minimum detactable change Spectral differences (color, B&W), Interpretation (knowledge of interpreter) Sampling (polygons, lines, circles, points) You need a lot of class! (i.e., classification, what are you detecting)
