| Description: | Technical report Abstract: The United States is making both formerly and currently classified satellite imagery available for environmental evaluation purposes. The research reported here investigated whether Service-wide military land managers have uses for this material. The survey of military installation land management offices found that these managers were enthusiastic about the potential application of the material to their land management needs, but they generally wanted to see examples of what is available, particularly for their installation. The survey also concluded that they are in a relatively good position to begin the application of declassified imagery for land management at the installations because the staff is capable, interested, and has access to the technical resources to run sophisticated analyses. Some installations have successfully applied the imagery. The most commonly requested potential applications are also those that can be the easiest to carry out and provide the greatest cost savings. Access to secure resources on the installation and the need for clearances are not perceived as overwhelming obstacles. Funding is not perceived as a major issue, though this may change. To actually integrate the imagery use into their offices, however, there was near unanimous agreement that workbook examples and educational materials needed to be developed. |
