Excerpt from Cultural Resources Remote SensingThe introduction, written by Dick Ping Hsu, prin cipal investigator and field director of the npra Pro ject in Anchorage, describes the regional and analy tical scope of the study and its basis in managerial needs. Some of the problems inherent in such a survey are discussed, while some of these - such as an extremely short summer field season - are unique to the Arctic, other difficulties such as large, remote areas which must be covered, plague cultural resources surveys in many parts of the country. One solution to these very real problems, as will be suggested in the sections which follow this introduction, lies in the application of remote sensing methodologies.The report ON field and laboratory operations OF the remote sensing phase OF the national park service cultural resources assessment OF npra, which appears next, discusses the project in the context of remote sensing activities taking place during June and July of 1977. The development, goals and organization of the project are summarized, laboratory remote sensing operations and plans are discussed, and the results of fieldwork by Remote Sensing Division personnel set forth. In a num ber of cases, observations made in the field have re sulted in the modification of previous plans, and these changes are explained and enumerated.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
