I. INTRODUCTION
The Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM) presents
this document in response to a request for a "White Paper" with
supporting company qualifications to address three narcotics case
studies in western Jamaica, northern Colombia, and central Peru. The
case studies address the environmental impact of illicit narcotic
cultivation in those areas. They include a literature search of related
environmental studies and reports, field work, data collection and
analysis, and a final report on each country.
This document applies to any or all of the three countries being
considered. ERIM personnel have extensive experience in the Andean
countries of South America as well as the Carribean. Specific ERIM
projects in Venezuela (along the Colombian border) and Peru are cited in
Section IV. ERIM personnel to participate in this project have field
experience in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, have participated in an
illicit drug project for Jamaica and have worked in island ecosystems in
other tropical regions.
ERIM has a long history of experience in the various facets of this
study:

experience in impact assessments of narcotics activities. This
document is unclassified, so these studies. will not be described in
detail here. Further information can be made available in a. separate
document.
In the unclassified area, ERIM has conducted resource assessments
in most parts of the world. These studies are very similar to the one

proposed here in that they involve interpretation of remote sensing data
and integration of other data sources from study design to final report
and project recommendations. These projects have typically involved on-
site work with country officials and coordination of field survey teams.
This particular study represents a marriage between on-going classified
work on narcotics and a capability to do environmental impact studies,
currently focusing on other crops for other sponsors.
Section II of this document covers the material which could be
considered a "White Paper". The issues, an approach and a methodology
are briefly described. Following response to this from the sponsor, a
formal proposal could follow. Section III describes two of ERIM's
similar resource assessments. These provide a sense of the types of
activities involved in these studies. Section IV gives general ERIM
capabilities, related unclassified projects and resumes of ERIM staff
members who ,could participate in this work. Section V contains an
inventory of Landsat scenes currently available at ERIM for Colombia,
Jamaica, and Peru. These were obtained during previous projects.

II. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION
This section discusses the issue of illicit narcotics plant
cultivation, the proposed approach to the problem and the resulting
methodology.
Government planners and policy makers in the Latin American and
Carribean region need to be presented with irrefutable and easily under-
stood evidence that illicit narcotics cultivation is environmentally
destructive and therefore has a significant, long-term negative impact
on their respective countries. During the last fifteen years ERIM has
developed operational, scientifically-valid methods which can be used
for assessing and quantifying the impact of such environmentally
destructive land use; ERIM staff members have been applying these
techniques in narcotics studies for over ten years.
Most land in the three countries (Jamaica, Colombia and Peru) con-
sidered in this study is highly susceptible to deterioration under
traditional land use and management practices. Illegal cultivation of
narcotic plants utilizes these practices, and as a result of expanding
drug crop cultivation, such lands are increasingly subject to
degradation such as deforestation, erosion, loss of soil nutrients, and
reduction in species diversity (See Figure 1).
The apparent high fertility of the soils of the humid tropics is
often an illusion. In fact these are some of the poorest soils in the
world. The abundant vegetation of the humid tropics thrives only
because of a rapid and short nutrient recycling process brought about by
a combination of hot weather and high humidity. Quite often, the soils
have already reached their ultimate stage of weathering and have long
been depleted of their basic nutrients through excessive leaching;
removal of plant cover can lead to rapid irreversible damage.

There are serious consequences associated with the removal of
forest vegetation. In addition to the direct loss of forest products
and future productivity, species diversity may be reduced because the
habitat for both plant and animal species is damaged or destroyed. Once
the protective mantle of vegetation is removed through deforestation or
burning, the soil is directly exposed to rain, and the various soil
horizons are rapidly washed away as sediments along the drainage system.
These suspended solids drastically alter the physical, chemical and
biological characteristics of water bodies downstream and exert profound
adverse influences on aquatic fauna. Excessive sedimentation of streams
greatly reduces the carrying capacity of the drainage channels thus
inducing lowland flooding and damage to wetlands. In addition,
excessive sedimentation is, the leading cause of the siltation of
reservoirs and dams.whose lifetime, as a result, can be substantially
reduced.
The ERIM approach for assessing the environmental impact of illicit
narcotics cultivation represents an efficient integration of available
data, technological capabilities, experience, and responsiveness to the
issue. The principles which govern its design are the same as those
which the U.S. Forest Service and other Federal agencies utilize to
design their highly effective multi-resource inventories (D.ixon, 1978;
Cunia, 1978; Schrueder, 1981).
The design of this study is based on four phases. Phase I
guarantees that the objectives of the study are clearly defined in the
context of the specific study areas, and that all relevant
information/data are available; Phase II insures that technical tasks of
the project effectively address project objectives; Phase III implements
assessments to obtain baseline and current resource condition
information; and Phase IV applies this information to appropriately
assess and describe the environmental degradation.

ERIM's experience with similar projects provides the insight needed
to produce quality results for this study in a timely way (See Section
III). This experience includes image processing, Geographic Information
Systems (GIS), aircraft and field data collection, sampling and
estimation, and the synergistic use of conventional and remotely sensed
data. The innovative use of multisource data via such techniques is an
ERIM specialty and is essential to quickly producing accurate results
from the limited data available.
C. METHODOLOGY
Phase I
The three study areas differ in their ecological and cultural
conditions and data availability. It may, therefore, be necessary to
treat them separately in order to specify the most appropriate and
effective assessment procedures for each. Accordingly, it is important
to have an in-depth foreknowledge of these factors before designing the
procedures. Phase I will assist in obtaining that understanding through
construction of several key databases.
An issues database will be compiled for each study area. The,
database is comprised of details related to the nature of the illicit
drug cultivation problem, where it occurs, what are its known effects,
and what information is missing that is required to assess its impacts.
A key aspect of constructing this database will consist of current
information derived from personal interviews with knowledgeable persons
such as sponsor and other government officials, academic specialists and
scientists. Assistance from the sponsor will be critical in identifying
and developing many of these contacts.
A review of specific research previously performed or ongoing in
the regions of interest will be of help in stratification and for
calibrating our inventory techniques and assessment procedures. It will
also serve to increase our awareness of the unique characteristics of
each. project area. This information will be placed in a conventional

data database along with relevant reports and maps obtained from U.S.
and host country sources. The remote sensing database will include a
list of all workable remote sensing data by sensor, date of coverage,
area of coverage, cloud cover, format (digital or image), and source.
Phase II
This study will require efficient use of both conventional and
remote sensing data; the purpose of this phase is to select and design
analysis procedures which will ensure adequate results from the resource
condition assessments of Phase III.
Remotely sensed data plays two key roles in this study: (1) it is
the most reliable source of data on certain parameters (e.g., rate and
location of deforestation), and (2) it provides the best available basis
for extrapolation of certain parameters (e.g., soils data) from regions
where they are available to regions where they are not. Conventional
data will provide many essential parameters not currently available by
remote sensing or for which additional remote sensing is not needed
(e.g., rainfall and soils data). The challenge is to combine these
sources in such a way as to always use the best data available.
Our recommended methodology will accomplish this by objectively
considering the information requirements and the available conventional
data (and its quality). When information gaps are found, we will select
data sources and analysis approaches to fill these. It is expected that
analysis of Landsat data will be of prime importance, but other sensors
(e.g., aerial photography) and other approaches (e.g., climate driven
models such as the Holdridge Life Zone Model) will also be relevant.
The methodology is illustrated in Figure 2.
Phase III
Phase III is devoted to the conducting of inventories and the use
of modeling to assess the condition of vegetation, soil, water, and
habitat resources. The objectives and methods of these efforts are
derived from the information produced by Phase II. Several strategies

(ftRIM
for implementing these resource condition analyses are outlined in this
paper. The specific details, however, can only be determined when the
specific issues and characteristics of the study areas, and data
availability are known.
Vegetation Assessment
Several types of information about the vegetation of the study
areas may be required, including vegetation type, current condition,
change, and rate of change. Each of these information requirements will
place special demands on the data collection and analysis procedures
used.
Information about current vegetation type may best be obtained by a
census of a medium resolution source of remote sensing data, such as
Landsat MSS or TM. It may also be possible to assess current vegetation
condition using the same data, but the condition assessment most likely
would be limited to those areas and/or vegetation types of interest.
Vegetation condition assessment may, however, require finer resolution
remote sensing data (e.g., aircraft photography) or field work. Under
these circumstances, multistage or multiphase assessment procedures may
be the most appropriate assessment procedures for extracting this
category of information.
Another situation in which .a census using a single data source may
not be possible is where current data is cloud covered. In this case an
alternative data source could be used. If the alternative data source
is a medium resolution sensor, such as SPOT, then a census of the cloud
covered areas can be performed using the alternative data source, and
the results added to the primary data source results. If, however; an
equivalent medium resolution data source is not available, then an
estimate based on a sample of fine resolution data using stratified
random sampling can be used to account for the cloud covered areas. The
types of fine resolution data that are expected to be available are
airphotos, field observations, and possibly airborne radar data.

To assess change there are two approaches that may be used: (1)
direct comparison of two observations of same type of data, and (2)
comparison of estimates produced from different types of data. In the
first case it is possible to detect and measure change directly. The
results are a census of change and an image of where change has
occurred. ERIM has developed several highly effective techniques for
detecting forest change based on digital analysis of historical and
current Landsat data (both MSS and TM). These techniques were developed
in support of the U.S. Forest Services National Forest Applications
Program. A key element in the effectiveness of the forest change
detection algorithms is the highly accurate and precise geometric
correction. capabilities for Landsat data ERIM has developed (see Figure
3).
Where direct change detection is not possible, other strategies may
be used. One strategy that is expected to be very important is
multiphase sampling. Multiphase sampling permits combining coarse and
fine resolution together in an effective inventory (Woodwell, et al.,
1987). It is expected that coarse resolution (e.g., AVHRR) data will be
more available for the study areas than medium or fine resolution data.
Thus, it may be possible to census the areas at both dates, with no
imprecision in the results due to sampling. error. However, the limited
resolution (1 km) will probably result in a biased estimate (small
things will be missed). The bias can be corrected using limited amounts
of higher resolution data, which by themselves would have large sampling
error. Combining the two data types in a multiphase estimator can
retain both low bias and low sampling error.
An example of how a forest change detection inventory would be
implemented is shown in Figure 4. The actual inventory procedure
selected would depend on available remote sensing data coverage, with
regard to sensor type, geographical coverage and date of coverage
(historical and/or current).

Rates of change may be computed from change estimates from two or
more dates.
Soil Condition Assessment
Within the tri-country context, the following processes are
expected to be the most significant ones: water erosion and physical
and biological degradation. A variety of models using traditional data
have been developed by soil scientists to assess these impacts (FAO,
1979). Over the years, ERIM has developed ways to implement these
models using a combination of remote sensing data, typically available
field data and the spatial data handling capabilities of a geographic
information system (GIS). To illustrate how these innovations have been
made, procedures for assessing the impact of one of the above soil
degradation processes are illustrated.
To quantify the extent of erosion ERIM anticipates using the
erosion potential mapping procedure it has developed and applied in
tropical areas (Laurin, 1984). The general components of this procedure
are shown in Figure 5. A key concept embodied in this procedure is that
although it permits estimating erosion potential for individual drainage
units, the actual measurements used to derive the average basin figures
are made on a much finer scale. This results in a more accurate and
precise estimate for basins and the localization of erosion damage to
specific ecosystems and locations. The procedure is a considerable
improvement over traditional methods which typically rely on average
basin measurements as the basic level.
Water Quality Assessment
It is anticipated that separate procedures will be necessary to
assess the impact of illicit cultivation of drugs on rivers, lakes and
wetlands. The water quality estimation models appropriate for these
assessments have several data input requirements in common. Perhaps the
most important of these common requirements are shown in Figure 6, where

the general strategy ERIM recommends for assessing water quality is
outlined.
Alterations in stream and river channel morphology can greatly
affect aquatic life and the vegetation communities which surround the
channels. Some habitats may be destroyed while others are created.
Decreases in vegetation cover next to streams and rivers not only
increase siltation, but may also reduce cover for aquatic life and raise
water temperatures. Since many fish have water clarity and temperature
range requirements these effects may have important consequences for
fish population survival. The ERIM Geographic Information System (GIS)
will be of special assistance in this part of the study because of the
importance of spatial context in these evaluations.
Habitat Assessment
The general approach ERIM recommends using for habitat assessment
is illustrated in Figure 7. Changes in vegetation communities and the
amount of human activity in an area may have major effects on the
wildlife populations of the area. ERIM has worked with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and State game management
agencies to develop quantitative methods for wildlife habitat
evaluation. One type of methodology that may be especially useful in
this study are habitat quality rating models. Habitat quality models
evaluate both the availability and spatial arrangement of habitat in
order to assess its suitability for supporting a given species or group
of species. The sophistication of the habitat model is made possible
through the use of the GIS, because it provides a practical way to
quantify the important spatial variables in these models: juxtaposition
and interspersion.
Phase IV - Integrated Environmental Impact Assessment
The combination of the variety of data ERIM recommends obtaining,
its quantitative nature, and the. experience of ERIM staff in evaluating
such data will insure an accurate assessment of the environmental

impacts of illicit drug cultivation. These findings will be divided
into direct impacts, secondary or indirect impacts, and predictions
about future impacts based on present trends (see Figure 8).
The impact assessment will recognize the characteristics of the
specific study country. These characteristics include resource
endowment, importance of tourism, self-sufficiency in food production,
trends in resource use, etc. For example, Peru, a food importer, has
experienced a decline in per capita food production over the past 20
years and Jamaica, an exporter of hardwoods, is experiencing a decline
in forested area (not including deforestation for drug production). The
assessment will be built upon an analysis of the physical effects that
stem from the interaction of the drug related activities and the
physical characteristics of the affected resources. These linkage
relationships and estimates will be developed in a formal quantitative
sense and will then be evaluated for likely impact on the country. In
other words, the significance of a physical effect will depend upon its
implications for the country. For example, soil loss on a forest site
would reduce the potential productivity of the site for forest or
agricultural production. The specific techniques used to estimate
environmental impacts including physical effects will be based on tested
procedures appropriate for the quality and level of detail available in
supporting data sets. This sequence and examples of the kinds of
physical effects and country impacts are summarized in Figure 8.
A summary of the findings as well as captions for all images and
maps will be prepared in English and, if requested, other languages.
Furthermore, all images will be completely annotated and their relevance
to the study explained. For each major finding of the study there will
be graphic documentation, in either table, figure or image form.
Special attention will be paid to correlating low altitude aerial
photography and field photos to specific locations in remote sensing
images and maps to facilitate understanding.

III. TWO EXAMPLES OF SIMILAR PROJECTS
ERIM has conducted numerous projects in developing countries that
have objectives or components closely related with the problem of
deforestation and environmental degradation that is addressed in this
paper. Two of these projects are particularly relevant to this proposed
study and are summarized here.
A. REMOTE SENSING OF THE RESOURCES OF LOS ANDES REGION, VENEZUELA
In 1979, the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM)
was appointed by the Ministry of Mines and Energy of the Government of
Venezuela to conduct a field survey in the Los Andes region. The
purposes of the survey were to:
-

The project area encompassed about 27,500 sq. kms. and included a
wide diversity of ecological zones ranging from very dry tropical
forests to Alpine rain tundras. It included all of the state of Tachira
and parts of the states of Zulia, Merida, Barinas, Apure and some of the
Colombian borderlands.
The Landsat data processed for this program were acquired from both
the U. S. Geological Survey's EROS Data Center in Sioux. Falls, South
Dakota, USA and the Instituto de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) near Sao
Paulo, Brazil. Initial printouts indicated that portions of four scenes

ERIM
were needed to cover the study area but fewer than ten scenes with less
than 90% cloud cover, were available since the first Landsat launch for
each of the four scene areas. Since completely cloud-free scenes were
not available, additional scenes were chosen to minimize the total area
obscured. This paucity of suitable data made it necessary to merge data
collected during different seasons of. different years by different
satellites (Landsat 1 and 3). In addition, data obtained from INPE had
to be reformatted to the configuration of the EROS data set. While this
data heterogeneity necessitated substantial additional processing
effort, it clearly demonstrated ERIM's unique capability to handle and
process multisource data without any change in their spatial and
spectral quality.
The data were geometrically corrected to remove inaccuracies due to
orbit and spacecraft perturbations as well as scanner irregularities.
Secondly, the data were contrast stretched in order to improve the tonal
separation of features and the overall sharpness of the imagery thereby
facilitating its interpretation. The images were enlarged to a final
scale of 1:250,000 with substantial overlap being obtained between
adjacent scenes.
A reconnaissance flight was conducted to acquire photography of
typical sites within the project area. The information was intended to
support a preliminary categorization of the data in order to prepare a
land use/ land cover map of the area. The preliminary categorization was
performed so as to determine the types of land use/land cover categories
that could be mapped with Landsat in the Los Andes region and to
indicate areas where specific ground truth information was needed to
refine the categorization. The final field survey was conducted by
helicopter in lowland areas and by jeep in the mountains. Land features
and terrain classes were extensively documented by color photographs and
field notes. In addition, radar interpretation provided supplemental
information on the areas obscured by cloud cover in the Landsat imagery.
Following final field checking, the categorized data were edited
and digitally mosaicked. The final products consisted of a digital map

ERIM
and area tables of the various land cover/land use classes. These
classes were described in detail and numerous comments were made about
them in the final report.
Individual crops could not be identified separately; however, the
dominant (and meaningful) classes within the project areas were easily
identified and separated. These included the following: forested areas
(both dense and sparse), burned and cleared areas, bare rocks,
cropland/pasture/shrubland, urban, wet lands, water, snow and ice.
The overlap obtained by using adjacent scenes from different dates
provided the opportunity for detecting any changes in the time interval
of the acquisition of the two scenes. The most significant changes
consisted of large scale (illegal) deforestation within the forest
reserves, migration of the meanders of the major rivers and regrowth
within formerly deforested areas. Some environmental impact of the
deforestation could be observed during the field trips. After heavy
rains, the color of the river will substantially change for a long time
because of the large amount of sediment transported from the unprotected
hillsides. In other places whole portions of the hillside will collapse
because of solifluction.
Intensive image interpretation supplemented by radar image analysis
provided the basis for the geological applications tasks. Lineaments
suspected of being fractures were mapped both from Landsat and radar
mosaics. The data were then digitized to create contour maps of
lineament density and rose diagrams of lineament trends. Ratio images of
Landsat band 4 and 5 were used to discriminate iron oxide deposits from
other mineral classes in exposed rocks and soils.
The Los Andes project has shown that Landsat data can be used to
perform useful exploratory reconnaissance and resource management
functions in this particular area of Venezuela and similar environments
elsewhere. More importantly, the digital analysis and processing
techniques used have shown that interpreted Landsat data can be combined
with data from other sources to provide cartographically accurate

digital files of large geographic areas. These files can be used for
agricultural and forest resources planning; and with periodic resurveys,
for monitoring changes in these resources. The digital files can also
be used to provide the basic structure of a geographically-oriented data
base which is a true information management system.
B. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM IN NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN
PERU.
In 1982, the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan, (ERIM)
was awarded a contract to assist Peru's National Office of Natural
Resources Evaluation (ONERN) in implementing a Land Use Inventory and
Environmental Planning project through an agreement between the United
States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Peruvian
government. The purpose of the project was to strengthen ONERN's basic
capability to provide timely and accurate resource information that
would be useful to planners and decision makers in the field of resource
inventory and environmental assessment and protection.
The ONERN/USAID project consisted of three major program
components. The first component was a natural resource inventory and
information systems phase which emphasized the compilation and
assessment of existing resource information, digital processing of
Landsat data and color infrared aerial photographic missions to support
Landsat interpretation and mapping projects. The second component was
the design and installation of a computerized geographic information
system (GIS) to be housed in ONERN's recently completed computer
facility. The third component consisted of a national environmental
profile and a series of three environmental demonstrations which
provided ONERN with the opportunity to train personnel and assess the
capability of their GIS.
The ONERN GIS procurement could be justified on several counts. The
system would greatly enhance, ONERN's ability to provide useful and
accurate resource information when needed for decision making purposes-

!ERIM
since it would permit storage, manipulation, and display of data and
cartographic information which was heretofore impossible. A key
objective of the system was to increase the utility of ONERN's existing
body of resource knowledge so that valuable information already
collected by ONERN could be encoded in the system, integrated with other
information, and displayed in new and innovative ways.
The overall goal of the project has been achieved. The various
demonstration projects have served to demonstrate the capabilities of
the GIS and to familiarize the ONERN and USAID community with its
potential to aid in resource management decisions. In the three
projects, the current level of agriculture and agricultural potential
were examined in the Upper, Huallaga with efforts specifically being
focused on changing land use and potential environmental degradation as
a result of illicit coca cultivation; grazing suitability for several
animal species was studied for an area near drought-stricken Puno; and a
comparison of land development proposals for the Pichis-Palcazu area was
undertaken. This effort is illustrated in Figures 9 and 10.

The multilayered 20 meter resolution GIS
that ERIM developed for USAID proved useful
in assessing the magnitude of-intensive land
use change (principally illicit coca culti-
vation) and consequent environmental
impacts. Specific objectives were to locate
and assess land use change using 1980 maps
and 1983 CIR photography and determine the
resulting change in areas of forest,
agriculture, and pasture. Erosion
potential was also examined by overlaying
land use information with slope classes.
Optimal land use of the 100 sq. km. area
was determined by comparing 1983 land use
with suitability classes
generated with the GIS.

B. DESCRIPTION OF SELECTED RELATED PROJECTS
Panama Natural Resources Inventory and GIS - 1986-1988
ERIM, under contract to the Government of Panama and the Inter-
American Development Bank is currently involved in a remote sensing
training and technology transfer project which involves all aspects of
remote sensing, including natural resource inventory, pilot projects,
technology transfer, and GIS design and installation. Of particular
importance is the application of GIS modeling (Sediment Yield Index) in
areas of Panama where deforestation, erosion and sedimentation have
become serious environmental problems. Environmental monitoring using
GIS in such areas is a long-term project goal.
Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) for Services - 1984-1986
Through the IQC, ERIM provided remote sensing services to USAID
mission and bureaus when required. A variety of remote sensing tasks
were undertaken including training a forester from the Ivory Coast in
remote sensing techniques for fire scar detection and sponsoring a
natural resource management program in Thailand.
India Training I and II - 1984 and 1986
Under contract to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, ERIM provided
advanced' remote sensing and Geographic Information_System (GIS) training
to six scientists of the All India Soils and Land Use Survey. The
training specifically focused on the application of this technology to
agricultural soils and land use study. The applications projects con-
sisted of using GIS technology to develop models that rank watersheds on
the basis of sediment yield index (Training I) and their susceptibility
to runoff (Training II).

Bangladesh Training Program - 1977-1979
With United Nations/FAO funding, six Bangladeshi scientists were
trained at ERIM in digital processing of Landsat Multispectral (MSS.)
data. Three separate resource investigations were completed including
an analysis of land accretion/erosion, and an inventory of forested
areas, both in the Ganges delta region. A boro rice crop inventory was
also conducted.
Ecuador Technology Transfer and Pilot Project - 1983
ERIM, under subcontract to Purdue University, conducted a visual
interpretation workshop at Ecuador's National Remote Sensing Center
(CLIRSEN) followed by a digital processing and Geographic Information
System (GIS) workshop at ERIM. Fourteen students participated in the
first workshop which focused on Landsat image classification and legend
preparation. Images of both highland and lowland Ecuador were prepared
by ERIM and classification efforts focused on lowland and highland
tropical forest classification, as well as eroded highland basin zones.
Five persons participated in the subsequent GIS workshop which was
followed by additional training at Purdue University.
Peru Land Use Inventory and Environmental Planning - 1982-1984
ERIM, under contract with USAID, worked with the Peruvian govern-
ment to strengthen its capability to inventory and assess natural
resources through projects that are keeping with the nation's develop-
mental and environmental goals. ERIM designed and installed a GIS in
Peru that is being used to assess and monitor deforestation and land
cover/land use change and their potential impact. In a related follow-
on project in 1986, ERIM provided GIS technical support for the GIS
installed in 1984.

ERIM, under contract with the Inter-American Development Bank and
Costa Rica's Instituto Geografiio Nacional (IGN), provided comprehensive
Landsat digital processing training to four IGN technicians and subse-
quently had them participate in the preparation of nine 1:200,000 scale
Landsat image quadrangles of Costa Rica. Manual and digital categoriza-
tion procedures were emphasized in the training with attention being
focused on tropical forests and agricultural areas.
Nepal National Remote Sensing Center - 1981-1985
ERIM assisted the Department of Soil Conservation and Watershed
Management in Nepal in establishing a national remote sensing center
with USAID funds, and providing training in its operation to client
staff. This was prompted by needs for natural resource assessment,
erosion control, and watershed management.
U.S. Forest Service - 1980-1982
ERIM, under contract to the U.S. Forest Service, developed computer
algorithms for change detection and land suitability analysis using
Landsat and ancillary data. The principal objective was to consolidate
multisource data in a Geographic Information System (GIS) that would
support the development of cost-effective forest management procedures.
Mali Land Use Inventory - 1979-1982
ERIM, in cooperation with a major engineering firm, conducted a
USAID-funded soils vegetation inventory of southern Mali covering an
area of near 600,000 sq. km. using Landsat MSS imagery. The main
objective of this project was to derive information on land cover/land
use for land capability mapping purposes. Image interpretation and
extensive field work was involved.

remote sensing agency in processing 1980 Landsat data in a variety of
ways to delineate various conditions of tea plantings. Supervised and
unsupervised categorizations were included as were brightness and green-
ness transformations. This experience provided ERIM with valuable
experience on hillside crop condition assessment. In 1982 ERIM provided
follow-on support by installing a small digital processing system, and
training technicians in its operation.
Italian Agriculture Program - 1979
In addition to advising Telespazio (Italian Space Agency) personnel
on agricultural remote sensing, ERIM provided consulting support on
using Landsat data for snow mapping purposes which in turn was used for
surface water runoff assessment.

SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE
Mr. Ferguson has been directly involved in the application of
remote sensing technology to international development problems since
1977. He has developed specifications and monitored the production of
Landsat digital cartographic products for the Saudi Arabian Deputy
Ministry for Mineral Resources (DMMR). He has compiled a number of
geographic maps for the DMMR (see list of publications) using both an
Intergraph computer graphics system and conventional compilation
methods. He established the first remote sensing center in Saudi Arabia
and managed the facility for 8 years. Mr. Ferguson helped to train
local scientists in the use of a DIPIX Aries II image processing system
at the Center prior to his departure from Saudi Arabia in October, 1985.
Mr. Ferguson provided consultative services to several U.S. and Saudi
government agencies involved in application of Landsat data to on-going
operations concerned with geologic and geographic mapping, environmental
conservation issues, remote sensing facility development and management,
and training of Saudi scientists in remote sensing methods. He has
extensive experience in implementing and completing ground truth surveys
in difficult field conditions. Currently Mr. Ferguson coordinates ERIM
remote sensing technical support for development projects and
investigations in the Middle East and North Africa with particular
emphasis on digital cartographic applications.
Mr. Ferguson's advisory assistance to other organizations in Saudi
Arabia, are outlined as follows:

SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE
Dr. Harrington is a Research Scientist in ERIM's Washington Office.
He is currently engaged in various studies related to image interpretation
and analysis, statistical models of radar data and sample survey metho-
dologies as it applies to remote sensing. He is a professional statis-
tician with nearly twenty, years experience in consulting and education
specializing in remote sensing applications, agricultural sample surveys,
environmental cost-benefit studies and intelligence analysis.
Prior to joining ERIM, Dr. Harrington was the Director of Washington
Operations for Everest Consulting Associates, Inc. While at Everest he was
project manager for a large and successful statistics research program for
the Central Intelligence Agency. The objective of this program was to
identify and exploit statistical methodology useful to intelligence
analysts. Example applications include analyzing aspects of international
trade; economical and statistical modeling of foreign agriculture; problems
related to arms transfers; weapon characteristics/production rates; statis-
tical and economic analysis relating to narcotics and remote sensing sample
survey methodology.
While at Everest, Dr. Harrington also directed and was the principal
investigator for a Bureau of Mines study to improve BOM production and
consumption commodity surveys. He also undertook a study for the Fish and
Wildlife Service to optimize their aerial survey of duck habits in the

electronic components for space environments. As a result of this
quality assurance effort, the three experiments launched during the
period of involvement with this project all exceeded their expected
lifetimes and all were still operating at the time the supporting
spacecrafts were deactivated. As a part of this project, he implemented
and supervised a computer facility for processing the received data. He
also designed and implemented digital logic interfaces between the
computer system and photographic displays, direct-view displays, and an
incremental pen plotter. He provided both system and application level
software support for scientific studies utilizing the radio astronomy
data.
In 1972 Mr. MacRae accepted a position with Bendix Aerospace
Systems Division to design and implement a digital image processing
facility to support utilization of satellite (Landsat) and airborne
multispectral scanner data for use in earth resources and applications
studies. The result of this effort became known as the Bendix Earth
Resources Data Center (ERDC). Following the implementation of the ERDC
he served as system software manager and, using the ERDC as a prototype,
he managed and participated in software development programs for
multispectral image analysis systems for the governments of Argentina,
Japan, India, Egypt, and Brazil.
In conjunction with his software development efforts at Bendix, he
also designed special purpose digital logic subsystems for the ERDC and
.a precision intervalometer for producing stereoscopic imagery from
airborne photography.
He participated in the training of scientists at Bendix from India,
Bangladesh, and Argentina in the utilization of image analysis systems
in processing remote sensing data for land use classification and
resource planning studies. In addition, he conducted onsite instruction
in the use of delivered image analysis systems in Japan, India, Egypt,
Argentina, and Brazil.
In August, 1978 Mr. MacRae joined ERIM upon the transfer of the
ERDC from Bendix to ERIM. His initial effort was articipation in
development of a Remote Image Analysis System (RAS) under a NASA
Technology Transfer program. This system allowed access to a powerful
image processing software system residing on the ERIM ERDC computer
facility via telephone lines utilizing a portable interactive color
display system. Following this development, he was responsible for
software development providing Geographic Information System capability

on the same hardware system. This responsibility extended to the
training of representatives of various educational institutions, govern-
ment agencies, and private companies in the utilization of the system
for specific projects. During this period he also served as both system
and application level software support for the ERDC in the development
of techniques for radiometric and spatial enhancements of multispectral
data.
He was responsible for the design and implementation of a
Geographic Information System for the Government of Peru to provide land
use/resource assessment and management for the entire country. This
responsibility included project management, technical participation in
the software system development, and onsite training of the facility
personnel in Peru.
He recently provided technical direction to USAID on the operation
and maintenance of a computer facility in Dhaka, Bangladesh for the
processing of meteorological land multispectral satellite data. This
project involved assessment of the current status of the project with
recommendations on organizational structure, system maintenance
programs, and personnel training programs.
Current responsibilities include technical direction in the upgrade
of a multispectral image analysis computer facility at the Remote
Sensing Center in Cairo, Egypt. This responsibility includes both
program supervision and technical participation in the installation of
specialized hardware and the requisite software to provide map genera-
tion capability utilizing satellite data. He is also responsible for
the design and implementation of an Image Processing/Geographic
Information System for the Government of Panama.
Mr. MacRae currently heads up the Technique Development Group
within the Information and Processing Division. This group is responsi-
ble for the development of advanced techniques for the processing and
integration of multisource data. These techniques include such problems
as the correction of satellite and airborne scanner data to produce car-
tographic data bases, extraction and merging of various source data into
georeferenced data bases, and the manipulation and utilization of this
data.

EXPERIENCE
Current research has concentrated on the extraction of bio-optical
parameters from remote sensing data. Research studies include the
development, testing, and evaluation of water parameter extraction
algorithms and have utilized simulation techniques to model and
analyze ocean color effects from subsurface scattering and
absorption processes. Developed a combined atmospheric and ocean
radiative transfer model to simulate satellite radiance and
investigate optimal sensor requirements. Developed quantitative
remote sensing algorithms for mapping and charting water depths and
for water constituent concentrations.

SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE
Mr. Torres has a comprehensive background in Earth Sciences,
including Biology, Geology, and Geophysics. He has extensively used
aerial photography and remote sensing products for geological purposes.
During 12 years he has acquired field experience while working in
Mexico, USA, Belize, and Panama. For his dissertation research he
became interested in continental scale tectonics and its bearing on the
occurrence of mineral and energy resources in Mexico, study that greatly
benefited from the use of Landsat data. Mr. Torres is experienced in
the management and analysis of data: parametric and non-parametric
statistics, experimental design and computer applications to geology.
He is knowledgeable in the use of microcomputers with MS-DOS system and
graphic programs (WW, Peachtree, Lotus, etc.). Mr. Torres has taught
both U.S. and Latin American students and he is familiar with the
learning requirements of these groups.

V. INVENTORY OF AVAILABLE LANDSAT DATA AT ERIM FOR
COLOMBIA, JAMAICA, AND PERU
ERIM's in-house inventory of Landsat data relative to the study
areas is mainly confined to Peru. Areas covered include central Peru,
southeastern Peru, the Pacific coast south of Lima, and parts of the
eastern interior. All available ERIM data are Multispectral Scanner
(MSS) acquisitions. No Thematic Mapper (TM) CCT's of Peru are in-house.
Cloud cover percentages within individual Landsat scenes for Peru vary
from zero to forty percent depending on location, with central Peru
having the greatest cloud cover. ERIM has two acquisitions of Colombia
of which one is a TM negative. No Landsat data of Jamaica are available
in-house as ERIM has not undertaken any projects there to date. Figure
11 indicates relevant in-house Landsat data in detail.
