A Guide to Conducting Aerial Sketchmapping Surveys

Résumé du livre

The purpose of this guide is to describe general procedures used by experienced aerial survey specialists to collect forest health data via sketchmapping. It is not intended to be a specific "how to" manual for all types of aerial surveys, nor replace training in aviation safety and management, on-the-ground field training, or apprenticeship flight time during regular aerial surveys. Rather, it is a "guide" to the aspects of flying and sketching that make up sketchmapping, presenting a comprehensive overview of aerial overview surveys and a general review of aerial survey sketchmapping methodology.
