Great Lakes Remote Sensing

The Great Lakes Remote Sensing project is a continuing initiative under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) for FY2019. The project aims to map Great Lakes wetland and habitat features using remote sensing technologies. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is providing funding to Michigan Tech University, University of Minnesota, and SharedGeo for this project. The universities are uniquely qualified to perform the activity due to their expertise in remote sensing and their location. Some key points about this project include: • The project is a continuation of a previous initiative and holding a competition would have a significant adverse effect on continuing or completing the activity. • The universities are providing unmatched Great Lakes wetlands and habitat remote sensing optical and radar expertise. • The project is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Michigan Tech University, University of Minnesota, and SharedGeo. • The project is funded under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) for FY2019.
