INTRODUCTION The Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM) presents this document in response to a request for a "White Paper" with supporting company qualifications to address three narcotics case studies in western Jamaica, northern Colombia, and central Peru. The case studies address the environmental impact of illicit narcotic cultivation in those areas. They include a literature search of related environmental studies and reports, field work, data collection and analysis, and a final report on each country. This document applies to any or all of the three countries being considered. ERIM personnel have extensive experience in the Andean countries of South America as well as the Carribean. Specific ERIM projects in Venezuela (along the Colombian border) and Peru are cited in Section IV. ERIM personnel to participate in this project have field experience in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, have participated in an illicit drug project for Jamaica and have worked in island ecosystems in other tropical regions. ERIM has a long history of experience in the various facets of this study: - environmental studies remote sensi o t d i ng pr jec es gn, data collection, processing and analysis field surveys/on-site data collection Through classified projects, ERIM has current experience in sampling design and narcotics crop estimation in various countries along with experience in impact assessments of narcotics activities. This document is unclassified, so these studies. will not be described in detail here. Further information can be made available in a. separate document. In the unclassified area, ERIM has conducted resource assessments in most parts of the world. These studies are very similar to the one Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 ~ ERIM proposed here in that they involve interpretation of remote sensing data and integration of other data sources from study design to final report and project recommendations. These projects have typically involved on- site work with country officials and coordination of field survey teams. This particular study represents a marriage between on-going classified work on narcotics and a capability to do environmental impact studies, currently focusing on other crops for other sponsors. Section II of this document covers the material which could be considered a "White Paper". The issues, an approach and a methodology are briefly described. Following response to this from the sponsor, a formal proposal could follow. Section III describes two of ERIM's similar resource assessments. These provide a sense of the types of activities involved in these studies. Section IV gives general ERIM capabilities, related unclassified projects and resumes of ERIM staff members who ,could participate in this work. Section V contains an inventory of Landsat scenes currently available at ERIM for Colombia, Jamaica, and Peru. These were obtained during previous projects.

TECHNICAL DISCUSSION This section discusses the issue of illicit narcotics plant cultivation, the proposed approach to the problem and the resulting methodology. Government planners and policy makers in the Latin American and Carribean region need to be presented with irrefutable and easily under- stood evidence that illicit narcotics cultivation is environmentally destructive and therefore has a significant, long-term negative impact on their respective countries. During the last fifteen years ERIM has developed operational, scientifically-valid methods which can be used for assessing and quantifying the impact of such environmentally destructive land use; ERIM staff members have been applying these techniques in narcotics studies for over ten years. Most land in the three countries (Jamaica, Colombia and Peru) con- sidered in this study is highly susceptible to deterioration under traditional land use and management practices. Illegal cultivation of narcotic plants utilizes these practices, and as a result of expanding drug crop cultivation, such lands are increasingly subject to degradation such as deforestation, erosion, loss of soil nutrients, and reduction in species diversity (See Figure 1). The apparent high fertility of the soils of the humid tropics is often an illusion. In fact these are some of the poorest soils in the world. The abundant vegetation of the humid tropics thrives only because of a rapid and short nutrient recycling process brought about by a combination of hot weather and high humidity. Quite often, the soils have already reached their ultimate stage of weathering and have long been depleted of their basic nutrients through excessive leaching; removal of plant cover can lead to rapid irreversible damage.

The mountain- ous areas visible are the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (upper left) and the Serrania de Perija (center right). The highlands are largely forested while adjacent lowland areas are cropped or used as pasture. Deforestation and consequent erosion due to land clearing for illicit: hillside crops can have serious environmental consequences in such areas.

In addition to the direct loss of forest products and future productivity, species diversity may be reduced because the habitat for both plant and animal species is damaged or destroyed. Once the protective mantle of vegetation is removed through deforestation or burning, the soil is directly exposed to rain, and the various soil horizons are rapidly washed away as sediments along the drainage system. These suspended solids drastically alter the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water bodies downstream and exert profound adverse influences on aquatic fauna. Excessive sedimentation of streams greatly reduces the carrying capacity of the drainage channels thus inducing lowland flooding and damage to wetlands. In addition, excessive sedimentation is, the leading cause of the siltation of reservoirs and dams.whose lifetime, as a result, can be substantially reduced. The ERIM approach for assessing the environmental impact of illicit narcotics cultivation represents an efficient integration of available data, technological capabilities, experience, and responsiveness to the issue. The principles which govern its design are the same as those which the U.S. Forest Service and other Federal agencies utilize to design their highly effective multi-resource inventories (D.ixon, 1978; Cunia, 1978; Schrueder, 1981). The design of this study is based on four phases. Phase I guarantees that the objectives of the study are clearly defined in the context of the specific study areas, and that all relevant information/data are available; Phase II insures that technical tasks of the project effectively address project objectives; Phase III implements assessments to obtain baseline and current resource condition information; and Phase IV applies this information to appropriately assess and describe the environmental degradation. Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 RIM ERIM's experience with similar projects provides the insight needed to produce quality results for this study in a timely way (See Section III). This experience includes image processing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), aircraft and field data collection, sampling and estimation, and the synergistic use of conventional and remotely sensed data. The innovative use of multisource data via such techniques is an ERIM specialty and is essential to quickly producing accurate results from the limited data available. C. METHODOLOGY Phase I The three study areas differ in their ecological and cultural conditions and data availability. It may, therefore, be necessary to treat them separately in order to specify the most appropriate and effective assessment procedures for each. Accordingly, it is important to have an in-depth foreknowledge of these factors before designing the procedures. Phase I will assist in obtaining that understanding through construction of several key databases. An issues database will be compiled for each study area. The, database is comprised of details related to the nature of the illicit drug cultivation problem, where it occurs, what are its known effects, and what information is missing that is required to assess its impacts. A key aspect of constructing this database will consist of current information derived from personal interviews with knowledgeable persons such as sponsor and other government officials, academic specialists and scientists. Assistance from the sponsor will be critical in identifying and developing many of these contacts. A review of specific research previously performed or ongoing in the regions of interest will be of help in stratification and for calibrating our inventory techniques and assessment procedures. It will also serve to increase our awareness of the unique characteristics of each. project area. This information will be placed in a conventional Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 2EERIM data database along with relevant reports and maps obtained from U.S. and host country sources. The remote sensing database will include a list of all workable remote sensing data by sensor, date of coverage, area of coverage, cloud cover, format (digital or image), and source. Phase II This study will require efficient use of both conventional and remote sensing data; the purpose of this phase is to select and design analysis procedures which will ensure adequate results from the resource condition assessments of Phase III. Remotely sensed data plays two key roles in this study: (1) it is the most reliable source of data on certain parameters (e.g., rate and location of deforestation), and (2) it provides the best available basis for extrapolation of certain parameters (e.g., soils data) from regions where they are available to regions where they are not. Conventional data will provide many essential parameters not currently available by remote sensing or for which additional remote sensing is not needed (e.g., rainfall and soils data). The challenge is to combine these sources in such a way as to always use the best data available. Our recommended methodology will accomplish this by objectively considering the information requirements and the available conventional data (and its quality). When information gaps are found, we will select data sources and analysis approaches to fill these. It is expected that analysis of Landsat data will be of prime importance, but other sensors (e.g., aerial photography) and other approaches (e.g., climate driven models such as the Holdridge Life Zone Model) will also be relevant. The methodology is illustrated in Figure 2. Phase III Phase III is devoted to the conducting of inventories and the use of modeling to assess the condition of vegetation, soil, water, and habitat resources. The objectives and methods of these efforts are derived from the information produced by Phase II. Several strategies Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 PH4,SE II: =IELECTIc'NOFASSESS MEHTh.1METHODS ISSUES DATABASE CONVENTIONAL DATABASE IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE KEY ISSUES FOR STUDY AREA REVIEW PREVIOUS WORK (IF ANY) ON THESE ISSUES IDENTIFY RESOURCE INVENTOR`( REQUIREMENTS ASSESS ADEQUACY OF EXISTING RESOURCE INVENTORIES IDENTIFY INFORMATION GAPS REMOTE SENSING DATA BA S E CONYENTIONAL MODELINGI EXTRAPOLATION T ECHFIIQUES EVALUATE METHODS TO FILL INFORMATION GAPS REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES SPECIFY RESOURCE INVENTORYIMODELIHG REQUIREMENTS PHASE III FIGURE 2 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 (ftRIM for implementing these resource condition analyses are outlined in this paper. The specific details, however, can only be determined when the specific issues and characteristics of the study areas, and data availability are known. Vegetation Assessment Several types of information about the vegetation of the study areas may be required, including vegetation type, current condition, change, and rate of change. Each of these information requirements will place special demands on the data collection and analysis procedures used. Information about current vegetation type may best be obtained by a census of a medium resolution source of remote sensing data, such as Landsat MSS or TM. It may also be possible to assess current vegetation condition using the same data, but the condition assessment most likely would be limited to those areas and/or vegetation types of interest. Vegetation condition assessment may, however, require finer resolution remote sensing data (e.g., aircraft photography) or field work. Under these circumstances, multistage or multiphase assessment procedures may be the most appropriate assessment procedures for extracting this category of information. Another situation in which .a census using a single data source may not be possible is where current data is cloud covered. In this case an alternative data source could be used. If the alternative data source is a medium resolution sensor, such as SPOT, then a census of the cloud covered areas can be performed using the alternative data source, and the results added to the primary data source results. If, however; an equivalent medium resolution data source is not available, then an estimate based on a sample of fine resolution data using stratified random sampling can be used to account for the cloud covered areas. The types of fine resolution data that are expected to be available are airphotos, field observations, and possibly airborne radar data. Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 RIM To assess change there are two approaches that may be used: (1) direct comparison of two observations of same type of data, and (2) comparison of estimates produced from different types of data. In the first case it is possible to detect and measure change directly. The results are a census of change and an image of where change has occurred. ERIM has developed several highly effective techniques for detecting forest change based on digital analysis of historical and current Landsat data (both MSS and TM). These techniques were developed in support of the U.S. Forest Services National Forest Applications Program. A key element in the effectiveness of the forest change detection algorithms is the highly accurate and precise geometric correction. capabilities for Landsat data ERIM has developed (see Figure 3). Where direct change detection is not possible, other strategies may be used. One strategy that is expected to be very important is multiphase sampling. Multiphase sampling permits combining coarse and fine resolution together in an effective inventory (Woodwell, et al., 1987). It is expected that coarse resolution (e.g., AVHRR) data will be more available for the study areas than medium or fine resolution data. Thus, it may be possible to census the areas at both dates, with no imprecision in the results due to sampling. error. However, the limited resolution (1 km) will probably result in a biased estimate (small things will be missed). The bias can be corrected using limited amounts of higher resolution data, which by themselves would have large sampling error. Combining the two data types in a multiphase estimator can retain both low bias and low sampling error. An example of how a forest change detection inventory would be implemented is shown in Figure 4. The actual inventory procedure selected would depend on available remote sensing data coverage, with regard to sensor type, geographical coverage and date of coverage (historical and/or current).

Soil Condition Assessment Within the tri-country context, the following processes are expected to be the most significant ones: water erosion and physical and biological degradation. A variety of models using traditional data have been developed by soil scientists to assess these impacts (FAO, 1979). Over the years, ERIM has developed ways to implement these models using a combination of remote sensing data, typically available field data and the spatial data handling capabilities of a geographic information system (GIS). To illustrate how these innovations have been made, procedures for assessing the impact of one of the above soil degradation processes are illustrated. To quantify the extent of erosion ERIM anticipates using the erosion potential mapping procedure it has developed and applied in tropical areas (Laurin, 1984). The general components of this procedure are shown in Figure 5. A key concept embodied in this procedure is that although it permits estimating erosion potential for individual drainage units, the actual measurements used to derive the average basin figures are made on a much finer scale. This results in a more accurate and precise estimate for basins and the localization of erosion damage to specific ecosystems and locations. The procedure is a considerable improvement over traditional methods which typically rely on average basin measurements as the basic level. Water Quality Assessment It is anticipated that separate procedures will be necessary to assess the impact of illicit cultivation of drugs on rivers, lakes and wetlands. The water quality estimation models appropriate for these assessments have several data input requirements in common. Perhaps the most important of these common requirements are shown in Figure 6, where Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 111E = 01L I T\" ENTOR1E 7f-4-4E t'.,:1A P 'VECIETATI0H I NY E NTO RI TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS DEFOAE'STAT1Ot-I I WATERS HED I I DELINEATION PRIORIfl' WATERSHED IDENTIFICATION I IH- `sICAL r'EC rr-2i..DATION EROSION POTENTIAL MAPPIFIG SEDIMENT I .,,!EL t'," POTENTIAL EROSION PC}T ENTIAL MAP I PHASE IWY' BIOLOGICAL DEGRADATION ASS ESSt'Y'1ENT TRM S POR T FUNCTION FIGURE 5 `;_! `, 'i .O L01 CONCDITION I I UNIT S NUTRIENT LOSS ASSESSMENT Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-00500R000200180001-0 IIIC %1A.AI TEF, t-P.11.L,L II sS J E ,_ NAIEHT H;:.

Alterations in stream and river channel morphology can greatly affect aquatic life and the vegetation communities which surround the channels. Some habitats may be destroyed while others are created. Decreases in vegetation cover next to streams and rivers not only increase siltation, but may also reduce cover for aquatic life and raise water temperatures. Since many fish have water clarity and temperature range requirements these effects may have important consequences for fish population survival. The ERIM Geographic Information System (GIS) will be of special assistance in this part of the study because of the importance of spatial context in these evaluations. Habitat Assessment The general approach ERIM recommends using for habitat assessment is illustrated in Figure 7. Changes in vegetation communities and the amount of human activity in an area may have major effects on the wildlife populations of the area. ERIM has worked with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and State game management agencies to develop quantitative methods for wildlife habitat evaluation. One type of methodology that may be especially useful in this study are habitat quality rating models. Habitat quality models evaluate both the availability and spatial arrangement of habitat in order to assess its suitability for supporting a given species or group of species. The sophistication of the habitat model is made possible through the use of the GIS, because it provides a practical way to quantify the important spatial variables in these models: juxtaposition and interspersion.

These findings will be divided into direct impacts, secondary or indirect impacts, and predictions about future impacts based on present trends (see Figure 8). The impact assessment will recognize the characteristics of the specific study country. These characteristics include resource endowment, importance of tourism, self-sufficiency in food production, trends in resource use, etc. For example, Peru, a food importer, has experienced a decline in per capita food production over the past 20 years and Jamaica, an exporter of hardwoods, is experiencing a decline in forested area (not including deforestation for drug production). The assessment will be built upon an analysis of the physical effects that stem from the interaction of the drug related activities and the physical characteristics of the affected resources. These linkage relationships and estimates will be developed in a formal quantitative sense and will then be evaluated for likely impact on the country. In other words, the significance of a physical effect will depend upon its implications for the country. For example, soil loss on a forest site would reduce the potential productivity of the site for forest or agricultural production. The specific techniques used to estimate environmental impacts including physical effects will be based on tested procedures appropriate for the quality and level of detail available in supporting data sets. This sequence and examples of the kinds of physical effects and country impacts are summarized in Figure 8. A summary of the findings as well as captions for all images and maps will be prepared in English and, if requested, other languages. Furthermore, all images will be completely annotated and their relevance to the study explained. For each major finding of the study there will be graphic documentation, in either table, figure or image form. Special attention will be paid to correlating low altitude aerial photography and field photos to specific locations in remote sensing images and maps to facilitate understanding.

TWO EXAMPLES OF SIMILAR PROJECTS ERIM has conducted numerous projects in developing countries that have objectives or components closely related with the problem of deforestation and environmental degradation that is addressed in this paper. Two of these projects are particularly relevant to this proposed study and are summarized here. A. REMOTE SENSING OF THE RESOURCES OF LOS ANDES REGION, VENEZUELA In 1979, the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM) was appointed by the Ministry of Mines and Energy of the Government of Venezuela to conduct a field survey in the Los Andes region. The purposes of the survey were to: - Locate areas for intensive mineral exploitation. - Locate areas suitable for agricultural development. - Assess the region's forest resources and provide recommendations for development and use of these resources. - Identify potential problems areas where resource development should be regulated or restricted . - Develop recommendations concerning hydrology, transportation, and urban improvements needed to support future developments. The project area encompassed about 27,500 sq. kms. and included a wide diversity of ecological zones ranging from very dry tropical forests to Alpine rain tundras. It included all of the state of Tachira and parts of the states of Zulia, Merida, Barinas, Apure and some of the Colombian borderlands. The Landsat data processed for this program were acquired from both the U. S. Geological Survey's EROS Data Center in Sioux. Falls, South Dakota, USA and the Instituto de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) near Sao Paulo, Brazil. Initial printouts indicated that portions of four scenes Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-00500R000200180001-0 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 ERIM were needed to cover the study area but fewer than ten scenes with less than 90% cloud cover, were available since the first Landsat launch for each of the four scene areas. Since completely cloud-free scenes were not available, additional scenes were chosen to minimize the total area obscured. This paucity of suitable data made it necessary to merge data collected during different seasons of. different years by different satellites (Landsat 1 and 3). In addition, data obtained from INPE had to be reformatted to the configuration of the EROS data set. While this data heterogeneity necessitated substantial additional processing effort, it clearly demonstrated ERIM's unique capability to handle and process multisource data without any change in their spatial and spectral quality. The data were geometrically corrected to remove inaccuracies due to orbit and spacecraft perturbations as well as scanner irregularities. Secondly, the data were contrast stretched in order to improve the tonal separation of features and the overall sharpness of the imagery thereby facilitating its interpretation. The images were enlarged to a final scale of 1:250,000 with substantial overlap being obtained between adjacent scenes. A reconnaissance flight was conducted to acquire photography of typical sites within the project area. The information was intended to support a preliminary categorization of the data in order to prepare a land use/ land cover map of the area. The preliminary categorization was performed so as to determine the types of land use/land cover categories that could be mapped with Landsat in the Los Andes region and to indicate areas where specific ground truth information was needed to refine the categorization. The final field survey was conducted by helicopter in lowland areas and by jeep in the mountains. Land features and terrain classes were extensively documented by color photographs and field notes. In addition, radar interpretation provided supplemental information on the areas obscured by cloud cover in the Landsat imagery. Following final field checking, the categorized data were edited and digitally mosaicked. The final products consisted of a digital map Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 ERIM and area tables of the various land cover/land use classes. These classes were described in detail and numerous comments were made about them in the final report. Individual crops could not be identified separately; however, the dominant (and meaningful) classes within the project areas were easily identified and separated. These included the following: forested areas (both dense and sparse), burned and cleared areas, bare rocks, cropland/pasture/shrubland, urban, wet lands, water, snow and ice. The overlap obtained by using adjacent scenes from different dates provided the opportunity for detecting any changes in the time interval of the acquisition of the two scenes. The most significant changes consisted of large scale (illegal) deforestation within the forest reserves, migration of the meanders of the major rivers and regrowth within formerly deforested areas. Some environmental impact of the deforestation could be observed during the field trips. After heavy rains, the color of the river will substantially change for a long time because of the large amount of sediment transported from the unprotected hillsides. In other places whole portions of the hillside will collapse because of solifluction. Intensive image interpretation supplemented by radar image analysis provided the basis for the geological applications tasks. Lineaments suspected of being fractures were mapped both from Landsat and radar mosaics. The data were then digitized to create contour maps of lineament density and rose diagrams of lineament trends. Ratio images of Landsat band 4 and 5 were used to discriminate iron oxide deposits from other mineral classes in exposed rocks and soils. The Los Andes project has shown that Landsat data can be used to perform useful exploratory reconnaissance and resource management functions in this particular area of Venezuela and similar environments elsewhere. More importantly, the digital analysis and processing techniques used have shown that interpreted Landsat data can be combined with data from other sources to provide cartographically accurate Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 ERIM ANMWWW digital files of large geographic areas. These files can be used for agricultural and forest resources planning; and with periodic resurveys, for monitoring changes in these resources. The digital files can also be used to provide the basic structure of a geographically-oriented data base which is a true information management system. B. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM IN NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN PERU. In 1982, the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan, (ERIM) was awarded a contract to assist Peru's National Office of Natural Resources Evaluation (ONERN) in implementing a Land Use Inventory and Environmental Planning project through an agreement between the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Peruvian government. The purpose of the project was to strengthen ONERN's basic capability to provide timely and accurate resource information that would be useful to planners and decision makers in the field of resource inventory and environmental assessment and protection. The ONERN/USAID project consisted of three major program components. The first component was a natural resource inventory and information systems phase which emphasized the compilation and assessment of existing resource information, digital processing of Landsat data and color infrared aerial photographic missions to support Landsat interpretation and mapping projects. The second component was the design and installation of a computerized geographic information system (GIS) to be housed in ONERN's recently completed computer facility. The third component consisted of a national environmental profile and a series of three environmental demonstrations which provided ONERN with the opportunity to train personnel and assess the capability of their GIS. The ONERN GIS procurement could be justified on several counts. The system would greatly enhance, ONERN's ability to provide useful and accurate resource information when needed for decision making purposes- Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 !ERIM since it would permit storage, manipulation, and display of data and cartographic information which was heretofore impossible. A key objective of the system was to increase the utility of ONERN's existing body of resource knowledge so that valuable information already collected by ONERN could be encoded in the system, integrated with other information, and displayed in new and innovative ways. The overall goal of the project has been achieved. The various demonstration projects have served to demonstrate the capabilities of the GIS and to familiarize the ONERN and USAID community with its potential to aid in resource management decisions. In the three projects, the current level of agriculture and agricultural potential were examined in the Upper, Huallaga with efforts specifically being focused on changing land use and potential environmental degradation as a result of illicit coca cultivation; grazing suitability for several animal species was studied for an area near drought-stricken Puno; and a comparison of land development proposals for the Pichis-Palcazu area was undertaken. This effort is illustrated in Figures 9 and 10.

Deforestation and erosion are major environmental problems in the eastern Andes and adjacent piedmont, primarily due to spontan eous colonization and land clearing.. Coca cultivation has been a major reason for land clearing in certain areas of the region (Alto Huallaga).

Specific objectives were to locate and assess land use change using 1980 maps and 1983 CIR photography and determine the resulting change in areas of forest, agriculture, and pasture. Erosion potential was also examined by overlaying land use information with slope classes. Optimal land use of the 100 sq. km. area was determined by comparing 1983 land use with suitability classes generated with the GIS. Shown at left are nine overlays including (1) Roads, (2) Rivers, (3) Forests, (4).Soils, (5) Slopes, (6) Crops; (7) Co-occurrence of Tocache Soil, Slopes of 0-2%, and Intensive Cultiva- tion; (8) Crop Matrix- Intensive Cultivation vs Slopes of 0-2%, 2-5%, 5-10%, "I0-25% and >25%; and (9) .Adaptability of Soils vs Slopes for Inten- :`sive Cultivation of Coca.

DESCRIPTION OF SELECTED RELATED PROJECTS Panama Natural Resources Inventory and GIS - 1986-1988 ERIM, under contract to the Government of Panama and the Inter- American Development Bank is currently involved in a remote sensing training and technology transfer project which involves all aspects of remote sensing, including natural resource inventory, pilot projects, technology transfer, and GIS design and installation. Of particular importance is the application of GIS modeling (Sediment Yield Index) in areas of Panama where deforestation, erosion and sedimentation have become serious environmental problems. Environmental monitoring using GIS in such areas is a long-term project goal. Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) for Services - 1984-1986 Through the IQC, ERIM provided remote sensing services to USAID mission and bureaus when required. A variety of remote sensing tasks were undertaken including training a forester from the Ivory Coast in remote sensing techniques for fire scar detection and sponsoring a natural resource management program in Thailand. India Training I and II - 1984 and 1986 Under contract to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, ERIM provided advanced' remote sensing and Geographic Information_System (GIS) training to six scientists of the All India Soils and Land Use Survey. The training specifically focused on the application of this technology to agricultural soils and land use study. The applications projects con- sisted of using GIS technology to develop models that rank watersheds on the basis of sediment yield index (Training I) and their susceptibility to runoff (Training II).

Three separate resource investigations were completed including an analysis of land accretion/erosion, and an inventory of forested areas, both in the Ganges delta region. A boro rice crop inventory was also conducted. Ecuador Technology Transfer and Pilot Project - 1983 ERIM, under subcontract to Purdue University, conducted a visual interpretation workshop at Ecuador's National Remote Sensing Center (CLIRSEN) followed by a digital processing and Geographic Information System (GIS) workshop at ERIM. Fourteen students participated in the first workshop which focused on Landsat image classification and legend preparation. Images of both highland and lowland Ecuador were prepared by ERIM and classification efforts focused on lowland and highland tropical forest classification, as well as eroded highland basin zones. Five persons participated in the subsequent GIS workshop which was followed by additional training at Purdue University. Peru Land Use Inventory and Environmental Planning - 1982-1984 ERIM, under contract with USAID, worked with the Peruvian govern- ment to strengthen its capability to inventory and assess natural resources through projects that are keeping with the nation's develop- mental and environmental goals. ERIM designed and installed a GIS in Peru that is being used to assess and monitor deforestation and land cover/land use change and their potential impact. In a related follow- on project in 1986, ERIM provided GIS technical support for the GIS installed in 1984.

Manual and digital categoriza- tion procedures were emphasized in the training with attention being focused on tropical forests and agricultural areas. Nepal National Remote Sensing Center - 1981-1985 ERIM assisted the Department of Soil Conservation and Watershed Management in Nepal in establishing a national remote sensing center with USAID funds, and providing training in its operation to client staff. This was prompted by needs for natural resource assessment, erosion control, and watershed management. U.S. Forest Service - 1980-1982 ERIM, under contract to the U.S. Forest Service, developed computer algorithms for change detection and land suitability analysis using Landsat and ancillary data. The principal objective was to consolidate multisource data in a Geographic Information System (GIS) that would support the development of cost-effective forest management procedures. Mali Land Use Inventory - 1979-1982 ERIM, in cooperation with a major engineering firm, conducted a USAID-funded soils vegetation inventory of southern Mali covering an area of near 600,000 sq. km. using Landsat MSS imagery. The main objective of this project was to derive information on land cover/land use for land capability mapping purposes. Image interpretation and extensive field work was involved.

State Plantations and the national remote sensing agency in processing 1980 Landsat data in a variety of ways to delineate various conditions of tea plantings. Supervised and unsupervised categorizations were included as were brightness and green- ness transformations. This experience provided ERIM with valuable experience on hillside crop condition assessment. In 1982 ERIM provided follow-on support by installing a small digital processing system, and training technicians in its operation. Italian Agriculture Program - 1979 In addition to advising Telespazio (Italian Space Agency) personnel on agricultural remote sensing, ERIM provided consulting support on using Landsat data for snow mapping purposes which in turn was used for surface water runoff assessment. Bangladesh Agro-Climatic/Environmental Monitoring_ Project - 1982- 1985 ERIM provided four years of service to the national space agency (SPARRSO) in the use of their newly installed meteorological station. Forest harvesting was one of four applications developed. USAID Grants - 1975-1976 ERIM has administered 15 USAID remote sensing grants to 13 develop- ing countries since 1975. The grant program supported the creation of remote sensing capabilities in developing countries through small grant awards and technical assistance to developing country scientists. Included were grants for soil conservation studies in Lesotho, palm forest type mapping in Peru, and land use studies in Haiti.

SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE Mr. Ferguson has been directly involved in the application of remote sensing technology to international development problems since 1977. He has developed specifications and monitored the production of Landsat digital cartographic products for the Saudi Arabian Deputy Ministry for Mineral Resources (DMMR). He has compiled a number of geographic maps for the DMMR (see list of publications) using both an Intergraph computer graphics system and conventional compilation methods. He established the first remote sensing center in Saudi Arabia and managed the facility for 8 years. Mr. Ferguson helped to train local scientists in the use of a DIPIX Aries II image processing system at the Center prior to his departure from Saudi Arabia in October, 1985. Mr. Ferguson provided consultative services to several U.S. and Saudi government agencies involved in application of Landsat data to on-going operations concerned with geologic and geographic mapping, environmental conservation issues, remote sensing facility development and management, and training of Saudi scientists in remote sensing methods.

MANAGER, TECHNIQUE DEVELOPMENT GROUP EXPERIENCE (Cont.) electronic components for space environments. As a result of this quality assurance effort, the three experiments launched during the period of involvement with this project all exceeded their expected lifetimes and all were still operating at the time the supporting spacecrafts were deactivated. As a part of this project, he implemented and supervised a computer facility for processing the received data. He also designed and implemented digital logic interfaces between the computer system and photographic displays, direct-view displays, and an incremental pen plotter. He provided both system and application level software support for scientific studies utilizing the radio astronomy data. In 1972 Mr. MacRae accepted a position with Bendix Aerospace Systems Division to design and implement a digital image processing facility to support utilization of satellite (Landsat) and airborne multispectral scanner data for use in earth resources and applications studies. The result of this effort became known as the Bendix Earth Resources Data Center (ERDC). Following the implementation of the ERDC he served as system software manager and, using the ERDC as a prototype, he managed and participated in software development programs for multispectral image analysis systems for the governments of Argentina, Japan, India, Egypt, and Brazil. In conjunction with his software development efforts at Bendix, he also designed special purpose digital logic subsystems for the ERDC and .a precision intervalometer for producing stereoscopic imagery from airborne photography. He participated in the training of scientists at Bendix from India, Bangladesh, and Argentina in the utilization of image analysis systems in processing remote sensing data for land use classification and resource planning studies. In addition, he conducted onsite instruction in the use of delivered image analysis systems in Japan, India, Egypt, Argentina, and Brazil. In August, 1978 Mr. MacRae joined ERIM upon the transfer of the ERDC from Bendix to ERIM. His initial effort was articipation in development of a Remote Image Analysis System (RAS) under a NASA Technology Transfer program. This system allowed access to a powerful image processing software system residing on the ERIM ERDC computer facility via telephone lines utilizing a portable interactive color display system. Following this development, he was responsible for software development providing Geographic Information System capability Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/08/06: CIA-RDP98-0050OR000200180001-0 MACRAE, BARRY D.

This responsibility extended to the training of representatives of various educational institutions, govern- ment agencies, and private companies in the utilization of the system for specific projects. During this period he also served as both system and application level software support for the ERDC in the development of techniques for radiometric and spatial enhancements of multispectral data. He was responsible for the design and implementation of a Geographic Information System for the Government of Peru to provide land use/resource assessment and management for the entire country. This responsibility included project management, technical participation in the software system development, and onsite training of the facility personnel in Peru. He recently provided technical direction to USAID on the operation and maintenance of a computer facility in Dhaka, Bangladesh for the processing of meteorological land multispectral satellite data. This project involved assessment of the current status of the project with recommendations on organizational structure, system maintenance programs, and personnel training programs. Current responsibilities include technical direction in the upgrade of a multispectral image analysis computer facility at the Remote Sensing Center in Cairo, Egypt. This responsibility includes both program supervision and technical participation in the installation of specialized hardware and the requisite software to provide map genera- tion capability utilizing satellite data. He is also responsible for the design and implementation of an Image Processing/Geographic Information System for the Government of Panama. Mr. MacRae currently heads up the Technique Development Group within the Information and Processing Division. This group is responsi- ble for the development of advanced techniques for the processing and integration of multisource data. These techniques include such problems as the correction of satellite and airborne scanner data to produce car- tographic data bases, extraction and merging of various source data into georeferenced data bases, and the manipulation and utilization of this data.

INVENTORY OF AVAILABLE LANDSAT DATA AT ERIM FOR COLOMBIA, JAMAICA, AND PERU ERIM's in-house inventory of Landsat data relative to the study areas is mainly confined to Peru. Areas covered include central Peru, southeastern Peru, the Pacific coast south of Lima, and parts of the eastern interior. All available ERIM data are Multispectral Scanner (MSS) acquisitions. No Thematic Mapper (TM) CCT's of Peru are in-house. Cloud cover percentages within individual Landsat scenes for Peru vary from zero to forty percent depending on location, with central Peru having the greatest cloud cover. ERIM has two acquisitions of Colombia of which one is a TM negative. No Landsat data of Jamaica are available in-house as ERIM has not undertaken any projects there to date. Figure 11 indicates relevant in-house Landsat data in detail.
