The project test site was located in the Queen Charlotte archipelago. Remote sensing data were corrected for terrain distortions and served to map new roads and cutblocks. The new features were added a GIS forest map based on the British Columbia 1:20,000 scale TRIM data. Much of MacMillan Bloedel’s tenure in coastal British Columbia is constantly hampered by cloud cover which prevents the acquisition of optical satellite data. RADARSAT imagery with its all weather capability is expected to be an important source of information for base map updating operations. Methodologies developed support the concept of a future operational forest map updating system using SPOT data where available, and RADARSAT SAR data in areas where optical data is non-existent. KEY WORDS: Remote Sensing, Synthetic Aperture Radar, SPOT, RADARSAT, ERS-1, DEM, GIS, Forest Base Mapping 1. INTRODUCTION inaccurate by today’s standards. The original mapping sufficed for forest inventory The Geomatics Team of Woodlands Services purposes at the time but is no longer Division is responsible for the development adequate due to the more stringent and operation of MacMillan Bloedel Limited's requirements of a GIS and associated Geographic Information System (GIS) applications. including maintenance of the company’s largest mapbase, the forest inventory. The MacMillan Bloedel intends to replace the ARC/INFO GIS is used to manage the mapbase with digital, three-dimensional 1:20,000 mapbase covering a combined area topographic data based on the North of approximately 1.4 million hectares. The American Datum 83 (NAD83) coordinate mapbase was created by manually digitizing system.
