Special Session of the Spring American Geophysical Union meeting in
Boston, 29 May - 2 June 2001
Land cover and land use change: implications for resource management.
Session Information
Collectively, local scale conversion of rural and agricultural land to
suburban and urban uses has regional scale impacts on land and water
resources. This session focuses on the derivation and application of land
cover and land use data to yield greater understanding of land use change
implications for regional resource management. Papers that detail models for
land cover/land use change prediction or present the use of land cover/land
use information in hydrological and chemical transport models are of
particular interest. While efforts in other areas are welcome, special
emphasis will be placed on studies of the Mid-Atlantic and New England
regions.
