Protecting Chesapeake Bay is a priority that requires federal, local funds
Without question, the BP oil spill in the Gulf is one of the worst environmental tragedies we’ve seen.
While many of us feel helpless and angry, let it remind us that while a tragedy of this size might be beyond our ability to help individually, we can play an important role in protecting our local waters from pollution.
The Chesapeake Bay is considered one of this country’s most vital ecosystems. The bay, along with San Francisco Bay, Puget Sound, Columbia River, Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico and the Long Island Sound are among the nation’s "Great Waters," estuaries that provide economic and environmental benefits that our country depends on
These estuaries are our lifeblood, providing a seemingly endless bounty of resources.

Integrating satellite-remote sensing and geographic information systems technologies in gully erosion research
Gully erosion still is a poorly understood process. Methods leading to the detection of gullies can therefore contribute substantially to understand these particular erosion processes. Gully feature detection can be regarded as a first step in the explanation and prediction of gully erosion. In this paper, the integration of remote sensing and geographic information system techniques is discussed in terms of its value in the analysis of gully erosion. The knowledge of the interpreter—the application specialist—is considered as crucial in computer-assisted processing and analysis.
