The toolkit is
presented in a format that assumes you want to work out
how to map or monitor a part of the coastal-marine environment.
A flowchart is provided for this site.
It is essential
that you first be aware of your mapping needs – this is
done by completing a table of mapping needs. This will
help you select the most appropriate data and technique
to use for your application.
Once you have
completed the table, you can use two options to explore
how remote sensing can be used for mapping and monitoring
your coastal environment:
Graphic sequence:
This sequence links the environmental variable to be mapped
and the type of environment to suitable data sets and
processing techniques.
Text and table sequence: This consists of a
linked series of tables detailing the information used
to support the graphically driven sequence. It guides
you through a standard set of questions that would be
used to determine the environmental variables to be
mapped, and the suitable remotely-sensed data sets and
mapping procedures.
