The dark green area represents Guatemala's sparsely populated Peten district as it stands in contrast to the stripped and tilled landscape of Mexico.

PLATE 7-2 Color-coded change-detection image showing the pattern of accelerating deforestation between 1986 and 1995. In 1986, only a single road extended through this part of the western Peten to the town of Naranjo, near the Mexico-Guatemala border, part of which can be seen in the lower left. In this image, blue represents areas cut down during 1986-1990, magenta during 1990-1993, and yellow during 1993-1995.

PLATE 7-3 Thematic Mapper satellite classification separating the bajos (seen as magenta) from the remainder of the rain forest (seen as green). Our current research is attempting to isolate various types of bajos, which will assist in answering questions about ancient Mayan farming, as well as help identify optimum areas for farming today.

Space-based sensors are giving us an ever-closer and more comprehensive look at the earth's surface; they also have the potential to tell us about human activity. This volume examines the possibilities for using remote sensing technology to improve understanding of social processes and human-environment interactions. Examples include deforestation and regrowth in Brazil, population-environment interactions in Thailand, ancient and modern rural development in Guatemala, and urbanization in the United States, as well as early warnings of famine and disease outbreaks. The book also provides information on current sources of remotely sensed data and metadata and discusses what is involved in establishing effective collaborative efforts between scientists working with remote sensing technology and those working on social and environmental issues.
