EROS Data Center Landsat digital enhancement techniques and imagery availability
Wayne G. Rohde, Jinn Kai Lo, Russell A. Pohl
1978, Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing (4) 63-76
The US Geological Survey's EROS Data Center (EDC) is experimenting with the production of digitally enhanced Landsat imagery. Advanced digital image processing techniques are used to perform geometric and radiometric corrections and to perform contrast and edge enhancements. The enhanced image product is produced from digitally preprocessed Landsat computer compatible...
Use of a remote computer terminal during field checking of Landsat digital maps
Charles J. Robinove, C.F. Hutchinson
1978, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (6) 511-514
Field checking of small-scale land classification maps made digitally from Landsat data is facilitated by use of a remote portable teletypewriter terminal linked by teleplume to the IDIMS (Interactive Digital Image Manipulation System) at the EDC (EROS Data Center), Sioux Falls, S. Dak. When field checking of maps 20 miles...
The metallogenic role of east-west fracture zones in South America with regard to the motion of lithospheric plates (with an example from Brazil)
J. Kutina, William D. Carter, F.X. Lopez
1978, Jornal de Mineralogia (7) 97-110
The role of east-west fracture zones in South America is discussed with regard to global fracturing and the motion of lithospheric plates. A set of major NW-trending lineaments has been derived which show a tendency to be spaced equidistantly and may correspond to a set of east-west fractures in the...

Jan Kutina, William D. Carter
1978, Global Tectonics and Metallogeny (1) 78-82
The pattern of lineaments and curvilinear features interpreted from a 1:5,000,000 mosaic of satellite images (Landsat-1 was superimposed on a simplified version of the Geological Map of the United States, 1:2,500,000 scale, showing the structural scheme of Central and Eastern United States. A comparison of the above two patterns, shown...
Hydrological applications of Landsat imagery used in the study of the 1973 Indus River flood, Pakistan
Morris Deutsch, F.H. Ruggles Jr.
1978, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (14) 261-274
During August and September 1973, the Indus River Valley of Pakistan experienced one of the largest floods on record, resulting in damages to homes, businesses, public works, and crops amounting to millions of rupees. Tremendous areas of lowlands were inundated along the Indus River and major tributaries. Landsat data made...
Applying satellite technology to energy and mineral exploration
William D. Carter, Lawrence C. Rowan
1978, Episodes (1) 19-24
IGCP Project 143 ("Remote Sensing and Mineral Exploration"), is a worldwide research project designed to make satellite data an operational geological tool along with the geologic pick, hand lens, topographic map, aerial photo and geophysical instruments and data that comprise the exploration package. While remote sensing data will not replace...
Flood damage assessment using computer-assisted analysis of color infrared photography
William H. Anderson
1978, Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (33) 283-286
Use of digitized aerial photographs for flood damage assessment in agriculture is new and largely untested. However, under flooding circumstances similar to the 1975 Red River Valley flood, computer-assisted techniques can be extremely useful, especially if detailed crop damage estimates are needed within a relatively short period of time.Airphoto interpretation...

1978, Report
The bibliography contains more than 300 citations of selected publications on the application of remote-sensing techniques to regional and metropolitan land-use and land-cover inventroy and analysis tasks. Most of the citations were published between January 1968 and June 1977, although some earlier works of continuing interest are included....
A von Bertalanffy growth model with a seasonally varying coefficient
James E. Cloern, Frederic H. Nichols
1978, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (35) 1479-1482
The von Bertalanffy model of body growth is inappropriate for organisms whose growth is restricted to a seasonal period because it assumes that growth rate is invariant with time. Incorporation of a time-varying coefficient significantly improves the capability of the von Bertalanffy equation to describe changing body size of both...
Simulation model of Cryptomonas ovata population dynamics in southern Kootenay Lake, British Columbia
James E. Cloern
1978, Ecological Modelling (4)-133
A one-dimensional transient model is developed to simulate observed population dynamics of a small flagellate (Cryptomonas ovata) in southern Kootenay Lake, B.C., during a 1-year period (1 June 1974-31 May 1975). The model considers advective displacement of C. ovata as water flows from its southern entrance into the lake and moves northward...
