1. Employment of gis and remote sensing to detect land use change Class Project FR 3262/5262 Dec 2011 Peder Engstrom Chad Sigler

2. Why China for a project? Project collaboration with Cargill Corporation and IonE/GLI on agricultural and land use practices China is a net food exporter – imports and exports are growing but still need to feed 1.3 billion people China’s capacity to continue food export growth is constrained by intense competition for limited resources by nonagricultural industry and other sectors of the economy Intensive use of chemicals – affects China’s future production and will lead to deteriorating environmental quality

3. Change detection: Urban vs. Rural Expansion Insight into agricultural use Data to provide assistance on a productive and sustainable approach to farming Possibility of follow- on study

4. Province Area: 156,700 square kilometers Study Area is 7,480 square kilometers Population: 90.79 million (2000 population census) Shandong major agricultural province: grains, meat, fruits, aquatic products Mix of industry and rural Terrain: wetlands, plains, mountains, and coastal areas

5. Shandong Province, China

9. ESRI ArcGIS 10.0 Making of maps Image Processing ERDAS IMAGINE 2010 Image Processing Mosaic Tool Subset Image Analysis Tools (Unsupervised, Supervised, Accuracy Assessment)

10. Performed unsupervised classification on 2004 and 2009 Landsat imagery why? Large AOI, less human bias, time restriction Followed ISODATA method 7 classes, 10 passes Landsat 2009Thematic Map 2009

11. Performed change detection and analysis (Thematic Change) significant increase in conversion of rural land to urban in five years – class adjustments/combinations

12. Landsat 2004 Landsat 2009

13. Reference data derived from 1.5 meter multi, GE01, 3Km x 3Km, 2009 100 Randomly selected sample points Class values hidden from actors (low bias) Relatively small sample of total study area

15. Level of difficulty using Landsat imagery Had to scale back project and adjust sampling dates based on imagery availability No “ground truth” ability – limited ability to assess objects Google great resource but limited data sets No “free” commercial imagery (although we did crack one nut…) Used Imagine for most of the project – would consider using ArcGIS in future for like projects Possibilities for further future work on this study
