Willamette Valley Land Use Change

In this module students examine various images (available in print and on the web) and prepare a detailed analysis of land use changes in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. While the activity uses imagery that is specific to western Oregon, the concepts introduced are universal and the activity could be implemented using any location.

Upon successful completion of this activity, students should be able to:

• Evaluate computer-generated imagery of landscapes to determine environmental changes and the inferred impacts of those changes.
• Evaluate possible future landscapes and project the impacts of various environmental policies.
