Reviewing the work of Everitt, J.H., Yang, C., Sriharan, S., and Judd, F.W. 2008 Using High Resolution Satellite Imagery to Map Black Mangrove on the Texas Gulf Coast. Journal of Coastal Research, 24:6, 1582-1586

This is the (very abbreviated) presentation I gave summarizing the article above. My presentations usually go into illustrative detail about each point, so the information in the Power Point document itself is not as informative. The presentation discusses a brief introduction on the species, their location and salt-tolerant characteristics, importance of mangroves habitat, etc. followed by more technical information regarding remote sensing techniques, methodology and sampling design, accuracy assesment and field verification, and finally a brief discussion (mostly omitted from the presentation) regarding analysis of the results of the study.
