Use of LANDSAT for Managing Nonpoint Source Pollution in Coastal Ecosystems of the U. S. Virgin Islands
The data results show for the first time Landsat-based land use maps of both the terrestrial and benthic habitats of the U. S. Virgin Islands, spanning a period of 16 years (1985 to 2001). Shallow-water (generally, less than 30 meters) bank and land areas on St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix were identified through unsupervised classification of Landsat 7 TM and ETM+ satellite imagery. NOS aerial photographs, benthic habitat data, and bathymetric data were used to ground truth the scenes. The project was supported through the Coral Reef Conservation Program. For additional information please see "Use of Landsat for Managing Coastal Ecosystems of the USVI" https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/oceans/coris/data/NOAA/nesdis/ora/LandChangeAnalysis/Documents/sapnabatishDissFINAL.pdf
