of
the
Earth
Exploration
Toolbook
walks
users
through
a
technique
for
documenting
change
in

of
satellite
images.
The
technique
can
be
used
for
any
set
of
time-series
images
that
are
spatially
registered
to
show
the
exact
same
area
at
the
same
scale.
In

The
purpose
of
this
project
is
to
present
the
holistic
study
of
the
biosphere
using
remote
sensing
technology.
The
intention
is
to
have
students
perceive
the
biosphere
as
containing
interlinked
environments
and
organisms,
an
ability
which
would
later
aid
students
when
they
are
introduced
to
concepts
like
trophic
levels
and
energy
flow
within
an
ecosystem
and
in
the
biosphere.
