Landcover Mapping Project for Gates of the Arctic
I&M Inventory Program. Landcover Mapping Project for Gates of the Arctic. 1999. National Park Service
Gates of the Arctic landcover was mapped using Landsat Thematic Mapper multi-spectral imagery as the primary data source, at intermediate scales (1:63,360 - 1:100,000) with 30 classes following a modified version of the Alaska Vegetation Classification (Viereck et al. 1992) system at levels III and IV. The principal results include a digital thematic landcover map, landcover class descriptions, plant association descriptions, study area description, surficial geology type and process descriptions, and an accuracy assessment of the landcover map.
