Ring of Fire : satellite monitoring of environmental indicators / W. Chen [and 20 others].: M103-3/97-2025E-PDF
"Using satellite observations, the Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation, along with its partners, has developed eleven environmental indicators that contribute to the regional assessment of healthy environmental relationships for the Ring of Fire area. Specifically, we have created five indicators for "water and river systems": surface water, snow cover, snow depth, lake ice extent, and total water storage. For "wildlife and wildlife habitat", we contribute two indicators: caribou lichen availability and beaver engineering. Two indicators, land cover and vegetation properties, contribute to several assessment priorities, including "forest ecosystems," "peatlands and other unique environments," and "biodiversity." Additionally, we have developed two indicators to support "climate change adaptation": permafrost and terrain deformation"--Supplied from publisher.
