Rio Grande Delta
Mapping of Riparian Vegetation
Riparian ecosystems are among the nation's highly threatened natural resources, especially along the Rio Grande River. With recent development of the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV), the amount of natural vegetation is thought to be declining. The purpose of this joint effort is to map the extent of the riparian vegetation and its changes over time. This will be done by using aerial videography (provided by USDA/Weslaco) and satellite imagery.
Remote Sensing of Rio Grande Delta Marshes
This project will provide data for the establishment of a wetland basemap for the Rio Grande Delta using airborne and spaceborne remotely sensed imagery. The creation of a wetland basemap on a regional scale will provide the foundation for continuing research in the Rio Grande Delta.
