1 «Usage of geoportal information for mapping the northern forest line boundary» Mikhail Zimin NINA (Trondheim, Norway) Volkovo village, Zvenigorod (Moscow region), RUSSIA, April, 2009

2 Introduction Main topic of research: creation of tree line map Region: Eurasia (Europe) Scale: LANDSAT imagery (15-30 m spatial resolution) Available data: satellite images (LANDSAT-, IRS-, SPOT-series, m); DEM (GTOPO30, SRTM); Maps (tophographic, thematic); field work plots

3 Problems: Definition of Arctic zone Introduction

4 Introduction Problems: Global georeference base (past present -future) Solution: LANDSAT7 Ortho-Mosaic

5 Problems: Calibration data Introduction

6 Web portals, internet pages (INTERNET/INTRANET) Access to geo-data To find, display, edit, upload/download geo-data. Governmental, G t l commercial National, regional, local, theme

7 Google Earth Software

8 USA Canada Greenland/Iceland Norway Russia Sweden Finland auslaitos.fi/

9 Comparison parameters: Data types (maps, images, metadata, geo data) Position accuracy Geo tools Download/upload tools Type of license Relevance and update

10 Comparison results: Data types (maps, images, metadata) Maps national topographic maps, thematic ti maps Images: Low resolution MODIS based Blue Marble mosaic; Medium and high resolution - LANDSAT7 mosaic (TrueEarth, Terra Color), IRS-series mosaic, SPOTseries mosaic Very high resolution scenes and series of same track scenes of IKONOS, QB, EROS images Metadata: Usually this information are presented on professional oriented geoportals.

11 Comparison parameters: Position accuracy Maps accuracy was not evaluated Images: Low resolution 500 m Medium and high resolution - 50 meters RMSE Very high h resolution orbital calibration (~100 m) and RPS transformation (~25 m)

12 Comparison parameters: Geo- tools: Zoom in\out; Measure; Object Identification; Distance and area calculator; Route planer; Interactive ti editing Download/upload tools: Shape files

13 Comparison parameters: Type of license Maps OSM, for noncommercial purpose Images Very high resolution for noncommercial purpose; High resolution for free (LANDSAT) Relevance and update Very high resolution images Road infrastructure (navigation perpose)
