Abstract
The application of remote sensing technology to environmental monitoring in the Antarctic was evaluated during a brief pilot program conducted at McMurdo Station during January and February 1996. Data were acquired to document land use patterns and material‐handling practices for an area of approximately 5 km2. Maps of historical and recent land use patterns around McMurdo Station were derived from airborne and spaceborne remote sensing data. The research tests the suitability of high‐resolution data for accurately characterizing human‐induced and natural modifications to the land, the adjacent ice shelf, and the seasonally ice free water of McMurdo Sound.
