My contributions:

• Created a post-fire (2011) vegetation map using SPOT imagery, ERDAS Imagine, ArcMap, and R, using a combination of supervised and unsupervised classification
• Developed a Bayesian Belief Network using Netica and evaluated model sensitivity
• Analyzed modeled results with FRAGSTATS
