Abstract

New spatial analysis methods and an increasing amount of remote sensing data are the necessary tools for scaling from ground-based phenological measurements to larger ecosystem, continental, and global processes. However, since remote sensing data and tools are not straightforward to master, training at the higher education level is often necessary. Curricula and training programs linking these integral components of phenological research are sorely needed because the number of people with requisite skills in the use of a growing array of sophisticated analytical tools and collected remote sensing data is still quite small. In this chapter we provide a series of examples of field-based approaches to college- and university-level phenological education. We then guide the reader through the resources that are available for the integration of remote sensing with land-based phenological monitoring and suggest potential ways of using these resources. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
