Remote sensing and Geographic information system was used to asses Land use land cover changes in two coastal wetlands in Louisiana. Normalized difference vegetation index and Land surface temperature, calculated using images from Landsat satellite were used for the studies. Significant changes was found between the years and each sites

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion participant will be able to understand dynamics of change in Land cover and vegetation health in coastal wetlands
Upon completion participant will be able to understand how climate change is impacting land cover and vegetation health of the two wetlands
