121 For the M.S. and Ph.D degrees, a minimum of 24 and 42 credits, respectively, of graduate course work plus thesis must be taken as a graduate student. Joint degree programs with other departments arc also possible and encouraged. The program requires course work in "depth," "breadth," "interdisciplinary synthesis and analysis," and "analytical skills". Depth courses cover such areas as fundamentals of remote sensing, digital data analysis, image interpretation, airphoto interpretation, photogrammetry, remote sensing instrumentation, image processing algorithms for remote sensing, G IS, and computer cartography. Courses in an Area of Concentration are required for the Ph.D. This is a group of discipline/tool-oriented courses that must form a coherent (focused) group. Breadth courses are environmentally-related courses dealing with such topics as environmental decisionmaking, environmental ethics, environmental systems concepts, modeling and analysis of environmental systems, science and government, analysis of environmental impact, and global sustainability. Interdisciplinary Synthesis and Analysis are accomplished through attendance at the Environmental Monitoring Seminar, a weekly colloquium of guest speakers and group discussion, and completion of a comprehensive practicum. The practicum is a multidisciplinary team project oriented toward the use of remote sensing and GIS for solving a "real world" environmental problem or conducting a natural resource assessment. The Analytical Skills requirement calls for course work in calculus, statistics, and research methods. All students are required to have a working knowledge of a computer programming language. A thesis is required of all M.S. and Ph.D. candidates. REMOTE SENSING RESEARCH Although remote sensing research is principally centered in the IES Environmental Remote Sensing Center (ERSC), related research is also conducted in individual departments. Research projects at ERSC have been many and varied, as have been the cooperators and sources of support for the projects. Listed below is a representative sample of the areas of study to which remote sensing has been applied by ERSC investigators. Land cover classification - integration of expert system, GIS, and remote sensing technologies for land cover classification; digital land cover classification of urban/urbanizing watersheds for inclusion in hydrology models assessing pollutant and sediment runoff; inventory' of critical land resources using Landsat and SPOT data; remote sensing inputs to GIS; computer-based land use suitability analysis; regional and global land cover changes. Water quality - design of a prototype water quality monitoring system for the Great Lakes combining SPOT, Thematic Mapper, AVHRR and GOES data; trophic classification of Wisconsin lakes from Landsat MSS data; measurement of aquatic plant growth and algae blooms from remote sensing imager)'. Geology/hydrology - temporal analysis and mapping of glacial terrain using Landsat imagery; improvement of streamflow estimates in watersheds with data derived from Landsat and SPOT imagery. Wetlands - generalized statewide wetland mapping from Landsat imagery; quantitative photo interpretation for wetland mapping; comparison of data collection and analysis methods used to monitor impacts over time in severely disturbed wetlands. Forestrv/wildlife — effects of differences in spatial and spectral resolution on the information content of SPOT' and Landsat TM satellite data; timber type mapping, mensuration, and damage detection using SPOT and Thematic Mapper data; development of a remote-sensing-based hazard rating system for spruce arid jack pine budworm infestations; use of airborne Lidar data to remotely measure woody and foliar biomass; application of Airborne Imaging Spectrometer (AIS) data to understand forest canopy chemistry and structure; monitoring of deforestation trends in Indonesia and Malaysia; use of GIS in forest management; evaluating wildlife habitat using SPOT and Landsat data; using satellite data to monitor the lood supply and environmental conditions present during spring migration of waterfowl.
