Investigating Canopy at Red River Gorge

Abstract

2020 Celebration of Student Research and Creativity presentationMapping change in tree canopy cover can give useful insight into topics like development of human activity and the health of a forest. In this study, remote sensing data is used to analyze tree canopy change over time at Red River Gorge in mid-Kentucky. The study results show the tree canopy change in both residential and non-residential areas in the study area. The study results can help forest managers and local governments to have a better understanding about the health of the forest and to better prepare for the process of forest management.https://youtu.be/X3dVZ1zs9M
