Development of the Oklahoma Geographic Information Retrieval System for resource management and environmental assessment.

Abstract:

In addition to processing satellite data for landcover assessment, the Oklahoma State University Center for Applications of Remote Sensing (CARS) is developing the Oklahoma Geographic Information Retrieval System (OGIRS). An information system can be regarded as layers of data referenced to a geographic earth-coordinate-system, which is capable of being stored and manipulated through computer processing. Currently, the information system consists of data libraries detailing soils, geology, landcover, climate, topography, and hydrology for selected study areas, and specialized software to interrelate and map numerous variables. OGIRS is a highly interactive system, capable of handling large amounts of data, and can provide output in various graphic modes. The system is most applicable to resource management and environmental assessment, and is flexible enough to accommodate multiple and diverse users.-Authors
