Welcome to the University of Hawai`i Digital Imagery Database,
Through this web interface the University of Hawai`i at Hilo Information
Technology for Environmental Research (ITER) Area of the National Science
Foundation (NSF) Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research
(EPSCoR) grant brings to you imagery for your spatial and temporal analysis of
large-scale ecological data sets.
ITER’s mandate is to enable University of Hawai`i researchers to develop and
utilize spatial techniques for both long-term monitoring of ecosystem health,
and for community- and species-level modeling of interactions between native,
introduced, and invasive species. Developing and implementing models of
ecological processes requires integrating and databasing the geospatial
information of a wide variety of biotic and abiotic data. Successful modeling
of environmental systems necessitates accurate and reliable satellite imagery
and ground-based-collection data that, when analyzed, describe how ecosystem
variables interact when disturbed. By applying geoinformatics system methods to
mine biologically relevant information from the molecular to ecosystem levels,
ITER anticipates and will facilitate the creation of models that test
scientific hypotheses relating to evolution, conservation, ecosystems function,
and even the relationships between ecosystems and human health.
We wish you success and look forward to viewing your results.
