| Summary: | The author has identified the following significant results. Density sliced and digitized imagery of the Kuskokwin/Yukon Delta were analyzed. Color coded images of the isodensity displays were compared with existing vegetation maps of the ERTS-1 frames for the Yukon/Kuskokwin area. A high degree of positive correlation was found to exist between the ERTS-1 image and the conventionally prepared maps. Hydrologic phenomena were also analyzed. Digitization on South Dakota State Remote Sensing Center's SADE system provide some discrimination among several large lakes in the subject area. However, interpretation must await ground observations and depth measurements. An attempt will be made to classify large water bodies by depth classes. |
