This data publication contains low-level aerial nadir and oblique-angle photographs taken from 3 cameras on two flight lines in Fort Wainwright, U.S. Army training lands, central Alaska, on 4 June 2019 and associated text files containing estimated area of vegetation and cover type in each photograph. A total of 6,960 photographs are included in this collection (6,253 nadir photos plus 707 oblique photos).
The purpose of this project was to document current landscape and land cover conditions along representative aerial transects, as a baseline for future change-comparison studies (especially from climate change); and to analyze current distribution and amount of land cover conditions on Fort Wainwright, U.S. Army training lands, from the representative transects.
