Materials For Downloading

1) PowerPoint Presentations from the March 27th 2009, Winter Meeting at UNH

2) MultiSpec Materials.

    MultiSpec Tutorial: "Exploring a Satellite Image"
    The following tutorial provides and introduction to using the freeware MultiSpec program for processing, manipulating and analyzing satellite imagery. The tutorial walks the user through various basic functions including downloading the software, opening images, panning, zooming, etc., to more advanced techniques such as band manipulations, i.e. making false color images and exporing the spectral signatures of various land cover features. This tutorial provides a robust introduction to satellite image processing, which can be completed from start to finish in approximately 2 hours.

    This tutorial is an updated version of the MultiSpec materials provided in your Black Binder at the Forest Watch introductory training workshop. These new versions can be printed to replace the old MultiSpec contents of your Black Binder.

  • MultiSpec Background and Introduction.
  • Exploring a Satellite Image (PC Version: Feb 08)
  • Exploring a Satellite Image (Mac OS X Version: Feb 08)
In order use the MultiSpec Tutorial you will need the MultiSpec software.

You will also need the subset Landsat image of Beverly Massachusetts, which the tutorial is designed for. The image can be obtained directly from the link below or by downloading the file (Beverly.lan) from the UNH GLOBE website. There are a variety of other useful materials about image processing with MultiSpec at the UNH GLOBE website as well, including change over time and land cover classification tutorials.

3) Data Collection Forms and Datasheets

4) Forest Watch Protocol Compilation Spreadsheet (PCS)

The following Excel spreadsheet programs can be downloaded and used on yourcomputers for entering your Forest Watch data. These programs automaticallyconduct data calculations and places all the important data on a masterdatasheet. Once you have entered the data and saved the file with the name ofyour school and the year (i.e., northwestern_98.xls) you can then either email the saved file to us at forestwatch@unh.edu or print-out hardcopies and mail them to us. Please read the Readme File below for more information.Additionally, the Excel program has instructions once you load it.

When running these spreadsheets, Excel will prompt you to Enable or Disable Macros--choose Enable

5) GPS, ALTA, & Topo-Map Activities/Forms

6) Photo Release Form
