Bennett), U.S. Geological Survey (GCMRC) Statement of Problem: Sediment and vegetation data are important at various scales to numerous scientists and resource managers. Past monitoring efforts have focused on expensive, large-scale, manual data collection aimed at small areas of the CRE. These were supplemented by collecting hard-copy aerial photography to help in manual interpretation. In FY2004, further development was made in automated processing of multi-spectral digital imagery to accurately map the two-dimensional distribution of fine-grained sediment deposits (sand) above 8,000 cfs on a canyon-wide basis. These products were derived from the system-wide digital overflight collected in May 2002, which offered a spatial resolution of 44 cm for the red, green and blue color bands, 22 cm for the panchtomatic band, and a horizontal accuracy (RMSE) of 30 cm. Digital elevation data accompanying the imagery provided I-meter resolution with a vertical accuracy (RMSE) of approximately 40 cm as measured against survey data. While these vertical accuracies are just outside the error range deemed acceptable to physical scientists for change .' GCMRC FY2006 Annual Work Plan (Draft, June 10,2005)
