Monitoring Vegetation Changes in the Shawnigan Watershed with Remote Sensing: A Study in Support of Adaptive Management and Ecological Governance
Mar Martínez de Saavedra Álvarez, M.Sc.
The main objective of my Master’s thesis was to contribute to the body of knowledge required for the science-based adaptive management of the basin by investigating the use of satellite imagery to map vegetation changes in the Shawnigan Watershed from 1984 to 2014, and to characterize its current condition.
As climate in the region continues to change and anthropogenic pressures build-up, mapping the changing landscape becomes critical for the adaptive management of the basin.
