4 Presentation Overview Introduction to Remote Sensing What is remote sensing Types of remotely sensed datasets Introduction to Wetland Remote Sensing Wetland characteristics Challenges of wetland mapping DUC Boreal Wetland Inventory Enhanced Wetland Classification (EWC) EWC methodology DUC Project Examples
5 What is Remote Sensing Definition from: Remote Sensing and Image Interpretation, Lillesand et al. (2004) Remote Sensing is the science and art of obtaining info about an object, area, or phenomenon through the analysis of data acquired by a device that is not in contact with the object, area or phenomenon under investigation. Platforms deploy instruments/sensors that collect information. Information is relative to the energy (i.e. radiation) being measured. Platforms can include planes, helicopters, satellites, UAVs, etc.
6 What is Remote Sensing Passive Remote Sensing: When a sensor is detecting naturally occurring energy (e.g. from the sun) Active Remote Sensing: When a sensor creates its own energy.
7 What is Remote Sensing Passive Remote Sensing: Optical Electromagnetic spectrum It is the range of wavelengths which radiation extends to. Optical radiation and vegetation Chlorophyll in healthy vegetation absorbs red, blue wavelengths for photosynthesis If healthy, the spongy structure of the vegetation reflects green and IR wavelengths
8 What is Remote Sensing Optical Example Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), Earth Observation for Sustainable Development (EOSD) Optical Landsat imagery to map forest cover across Canada, to 21 classes
9 What is Remote Sensing Active Remote Sensing: RADAR Vertical RADAR sensors Microwave energy is emitted from the sensor All weather, cloud-penetrating Radiation returned to sensor is backscatter Backscatter a function of physical geometry e.g. soil moisture e.g. biomass e.g. surface roughness Horizontal
10 What is Remote Sensing Active Remote Sensing: LiDAR Vertical LiDAR sensors Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) Infrared energy is emitted from the sensor Uses light in the form of a rapidly pulsed laser The sensor measures to time taken for the pulse to return Distance is calculated using the velocity of light Horizontal
11 What is Remote Sensing LiDAR Example Use of high resolution aerial photography and LiDAR to map wetlands Evergreen Center, Grand Prairie, AB Aerial Imagery LiDAR: Bare Earth LiDAR: Vegetation Model Classification LiDAR Vegetation Model Ground Short Vegetation / Shrub Medium Vegetation / Shrub Tall Vegetation / Shrub Short Vegetation / Tree Medium Vegetation / Tree Tall Vegetation / Tree Classification Upland/Other Conifer Swamp Emergent Marsh Graminoid Rich Fen Hardwood Swamp Mixedwood Swamp Open Water Shrubby Rich Fen Tamarack Swamp Treed Rich Fen
12 Remote Sensing of Wetlands Definition from: Canadian Wetland Classification System, NWWG (1997) A wetland is land where the water table is at, near, or above the surface or which is saturated for a long enough period to promote such features as wet- altered soils and water tolerant vegetation.
13 Remote Sensing of Wetlands Wetland hydrology Seasonally or permanently waterlogged Water slightly below, at, or above the surface for at least some part of the year Wetland vegetation Vegetation adapted for life in the saturated/flooded soil conditions Species can be obligate or facultative Includes trees, shrubs, mosses, herbs, lichens or aquatics Reindeer Lichen Bog Birch Black Spruce
14 Remote Sensing of Wetlands Wetland mapping challenges Size and extent: Canada s boreal forest covers 570 million ha (58% of Canada). Percentage of wetlands per unit area: Wetlands dominate the landscape throughout much of the boreal. Complexity Wetlands have a wide geographic distribution, complexity of growth forms, conditions, and gradations. Data availability i.e. imagery sources. Although, data is becoming more accessible over time.
15
16 Remote Sensing of Wetlands Wetland mapping challenges Wide range of features within a single wetland class: Burnt, flooded, dry, dead vegetation, live vegetation, vegetation composition Some upland areas have the same spectral features as wetland areas e.g. spruce forests e.g. tall shrubs Delineation of wetland extent can be difficult Size: wetlands range from thousands of square kilometers to a puddle Gradation: wetlands transition between forms Treed Fen Shrubby Fen Marsh
17 Remote Sensing of Wetlands Challenges What is a wetland? What types of wetlands are there? What features are used to distinguish wetland types? Can wetlands be mapped mutually exclusive within a region? Near Infrared Kilometers Shortwave Infrared Red
18 Remote Sensing of Wetlands Challenges Water levels can change over time Classification of wetland type can be dependent on image date capture Ideally, wetland inventories should be refreshed over time
19 Remote Sensing of Wetlands Classification Systems Canadian Wetland Classification System 5 class data model Bog Swamp Fen Open Water Marsh
20 Remote Sensing of Wetlands Classification Systems DUC Enhanced Wetland Classification 19 class data model EWC Defines major and minor wetland classes for the entire ecozone Applicable for ground level surveys, but designed for helicopter-based orthogonal-view surveys Comprehensive description of each wetland Available online at
