TriZPUG April 2008 Meeting: Scientific Python - Remote Sensing and 
Ecological Modeling

Josh Gray, a doctoral candidate in the UNC Department of Geography, will 
describe a NASA funded ecological investigation which explores methods 
of scaling up eddy covariance flux tower estimates of various ecological 
parameters, especially those related to carbon and water cycling, to 
regional scales. Various remotely sensed images are employed in a novel 
model which estimates evapotranspiration for the Eno River Watershed in 
Durham and Orange Counties. Originally the workflow was entirely Matlab 
based. This user has found that the Python combination of numpy, pylab, 
and gdal has provided a full replacement and increased efficiency and 
portability.
