The following categories contain FREE resources for ColoradoView users, AmericaView participants and any potential users interested in working with remote sensing and GIS data. Downloadable PDFs and HTML files take users step-by-step through essential remote sensing and GIS functions including downloading free Landsat data from the USGS GLOVIS website, creating multiple scene mosaics, clipping mosaics to a defined study extent, applying Maxent modeling and more! Many of the following ColoradoView tutorials were directly funded through AmericaView and created by ColoradoView Student Interns at Colorado State University.
