Boggs KW, Garibaldi A, Helt T, Stevens JL. 1999. Landsat derived map and landcover descriptions for Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. Natural Resource Technical Report. NPS/GAAR/NRTR—1999/001. National Park Service, Natural Resource Stewardship and Science
Using Landsat Thematic Mapper multi-spectral imagery as the primary data source, Gates of the Arctic landcover was mapped 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.
