Resource Abstract:
- description: <p>In 1996, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Region 6 Habitat and Population Evaluation Team, initiated
a pilot project to evaluate the potential to use Thematic Mapper satellite imagery to map upland waterfowl nesting cover in
the North and South Dakota and northeast Montana portion of the Prairie Pothole Region. The results of the pilot project suggested
that we could expect more than 80 percent overall classification accuracy was likely and the project was expanded to the area
of interest. Ducks Unlimited's Great Plains Regional Office joined the project in late 1996 and co-funded the remainder
of the project. Imagery dates ranged from 1992-96 and the process resulted in the landcover classification of nearly 78 million
acres into 16 wetland and upland classes.</p> <p><strong>Constraints:</strong><br /> USFWS Although
these data have been processed successfully on a computer system at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, no warranty expressed
