Land Cover Database Planning Workshops

 

You are invited to participate in one of a series workshops to help plan the development of the next version of the national Land Cover Database (LCDB).

The LCDB is a nationally significant database which is widely used throughout the country. It is a digital map created by grouping similar types of land cover which can identified from satellite images. There are currently two versions in circulation depicting New Zealand’s land cover in 1996-97 and 2001-02. A third version is proposed which will use the mapping output from the Ministry for the Environment’s Land Use and Carbon Analysis System (LUCAS) programme as a base. This mapping is based on satellite data over the summer of 2007-08.

We need your input to scope the new version of the LCDB and make it relevant for today’s needs. The workshop will be of interest to policy makers, land managers, researchers and analysts – anyone with an interest or a stake in land cover information.

 

Thursday 19th Feb –Christchurch - Environment Canterbury

This one may be worth attention as the application of this technology has been controversial in the music industry.  I'm not sure what the implications for our industry may be.
