Abstract: This project will rebuild the existing GIS dataset developed for Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve Landcover Mapping Project to conform to 1:63,360 NMAS. This work will require processing to orthorectify scanned CIR photography and linework to register with existing BW orthoimagery. The scanned lined work will be used to build a consolidated GIS geodatabase (ESRI) that contains landcover and wetland classes. This geodatabase shall incorporate corrections and attribution as they exist in the current product.
