Using Remote Sensing In State And Local Government Information For Management And ...

Advances in spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution over the past several years have greatly expanded opportunities for practical applications of remote sensing data. To explore the implications of these possibilities, the NRC held a series of three workshops on different facets of remote sensing applications. This report is on the third of those workshops: the development and use of remote sensing data and information by state, local, and regional governments. The steering committee was asked to examine the opportunities, potential challenges, and policy issues associated with the application of remote sensing data in the public sector including approaches and procedures for government agencies to use such data and barriers to development and use of the applications. The resulting report is addressed primarily to non-technical managers and decisions makers at all levels of government below the federal level.National Research Council (U.S.), Steering Committee on Space Applications and Commercialization Staff is the author of 'Using Remote Sensing In State And Local Government Information For Management And ...', published 2003 under ISBN 9780309088633 and ISBN 0309088631.
