A USGS research team led by Dennis Dye of the Western Geographic Science Center gave a 3-day technical training course on land remote sensing to staff of the San Carlos Apache Tribe’s Forest Resources Program in San Carlos, Arizona. The training supports the Tribe’s objectives for using ground-based observing systems (science-quality “phenocams” and other sensors) and airborne laser scanning (lidar) to support improved monitoring, analysis, and management of their natural resources. The course was sponsored by the USGS Technical Training in Support of Native American Relations (TESNAR) Program.
