From space to place: an image atlas of world heritage sites on the 'in danger' list
Two of the keynote speakers, Mario Hernandez, Senior Program Specialist for Remote Sensing for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and Barbara Ryan, then Associate Director for Geography at the United States Geological Survey (USGS), were inspired to extend the outcomes of the conference to include a collaboration to develop this book. They shared a vision for the production of an atlas of satellite imagery for the set of World Heritage sites on the ‘In Danger’ list. The atlas would emphasize the utility of satellite imagery for assessing and managing these endangered protected areas.
