Vulnerability is the degree to which a system is susceptible to, or unable to cope with, adverse effects of climate change, including climate variability and extremes (IPCC, 2001)

Page 3: Remote Sensing. Vulnerability is the degree to which a system is susceptible to, or unable to cope with, adverse effects of climate change, including

The goal of vulnerability assessment:

“is not to produce a score or rating of a particular community’s current or future vulnerability. Rather, the aim is to attain information on the nature of vulnerability and its components and determinates.”

(Smit and Wandel, 2006)

Two main remote sensing systems

Passive – reflectance measurements

Active – transmit em radiation at specific wavelength and sample what is reflected back

What remote sensing?

• SPECTERRA: Airborne Digital Multi-Spectral Imagery

• SPOT VEGETATION

• SPOT HVIR (hi-res)

• Landsat TM

• Canopy photography

Page 12: Remote Sensing. Vulnerability is the degree to which a system is susceptible to, or unable to cope with, adverse effects of climate change, including

What Scale?

• DMSI: 0.5m

• SPOT HVIR (hi-res): 10m

• Landsat TM: 25m

• SPOT VEGETATION: 1000m

• Canopy photography: Camera dependent

The Yalgorup Dataset

• Quality DMSI in 2007, 2008 and 2010

• Canopy assessments in 2008

• Pixel matched & with bidirectional reflectance distribution function (SPECTERRA)

• “Like value” linear based callibration of yearly scenes as per CSIRO’s Firby and Campbell method (i.e. same as Landmonitor)

• Scaled and cropped to normalised range 12BIT to 8BIT for Grey Level Covariance Matrix and Vegetation indices

The Yalgorup dataset cont…

• Correlation of field data and in-canopy indices based (USDA canopy assessments by Paul Barber)

• Modelling of best correlating indices across 12 trees, then all 80 trees in site
