Sorry everyone that should be NO update for landcover planned... ********** Michael Smith State GIS Manager Maine Office of GIS ________________________________ From: Maine GeoLibrary [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Smith, Michael Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 4:39 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: NAIP 2009 There is currently on update for landcover planned - chiefly due to cost. With 1m near-IR that would make it much more affordable. ********** Michael Smith State GIS Manager Maine Office of GIS ________________________________ From: Maine GeoLibrary [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Barbara Charry Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 4:21 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: NAIP 2009 This is fabulous. Jog my memory, is there an update to the landcover in the works? Thanks, Barbara ________________________________ From: Maine GeoLibrary [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Smith, Michael Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 4:01 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: NAIP 2009 Some of you may have heard this and others may not, but USDA is planning on flying all of Maine this summer for another NAIP collect. Again this will be 1m color data, flown between late June and late August for leaf-on collect. We have a tremendous opportunity here as well though, as USDA is going to pay for collection of a fourth band, a near-infrared band useful for detecting moisture, vegetation differences, and modeling imperviousness. Since USDA is paying for the collect, the cost to acquire the data is very low - only the cost of preparing the fourth band, which for Maine is only $77,000 for the whole state. We will be formulating a plan to put together these funds during the next few months - there is no hurry since the data are being collected regardless. When we come up with the money then we can get them processed into a usable format. ********** Michael Smith State GIS Manager Maine Office of GIS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This list (GEOLIBRARY-L) is an unmoderated discussion list for all Maine GIS Users.
