lImageJ Resources

Explore the following resources for Ambassador Sessions and potential use with your students

ImageJ instructional materials

Analyzing the Antarctic Ozone Hole — Measure and graph the area of depleted ozone from Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) images.

Annotating Change in Satellite Images — Use time-series images to produce a map documenting landuse changes in China.

Exploring and Animating GOES Images — Transform a time series of GOES images into an animation. Plot a storm track and determine storm speed.

Measuring Distance and Area in Satellite Images — Use ImageJ to quantify change over time in satellite images. 

Shrinking Forest - Growing Problem — Use time-series Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images to create a color composite image showing the oldest to most recently deforested areas in the Amazon rainforest. 

Using NASA NEO and ImageJ to Explore the Role of Snow Cover in Shaping Climate — Explore and animate satellite images of reflected short wave radiation, snow cover, and land surface temperature. Then observe, graph, and analyze the relationship between these three variables. 

Whither Arctic Sea Ice? — Animate thirty years of sea ice images, measure the ice extent each year, and then graph and analyze the results. 

Linking the Ocean to the Classroom — Explore and investigate Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) images from the Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System (GoMoos).
