Abstract The 1990 Farm Bill cals for periodic review and updates, when deemed necessary by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, of the USDA Soil Conservation Service's (SCS) wetland inventories. The SCS intends to complete the process with as little field personnel hours as possible. As an alternative to the laborious process of field verification and air photo interpretation, the agency is evaluating the use of satellite remote sensing to perform wetland delineations. The following paper describes a wetland recertification and sampling pilot project being performed by the Space Remote Sensing Center for the SCS. The study area is located in Logan County, ND which is contained within the Prairie Pothole region of the Upper Great Plains Province. Of particular interest to the SCS is the satellite classification of potentially converted wetlands. Data types being evaluated include Landsat TM and SPOT. Classification results will be compared with an existing SCS wetland inventory covering this region.
