A New Look at Connecticut from Space—Connecticut's Changing Landscape Project
Connecticut's Changing Landscape is the first of many projects put out by the University of Connecticut's CT NEMO Program and the Center for Land use Education And Research (CLEAR).
This
project is
the result of two years of work to produce an improved and
directly comparable land cover dataset for the entire state of Connecticut
for the years 1985, 1990, 1995 and 2002. This work provides
a
full 17-year record of the changing Connecticut landscape,
with a special emphasis
on the growth of developed land throughout the state.
You can look at, download and print out maps of your own town or
watershed at the new Connecticut's Changing Landscape website: http://clear.uconn.edu/projects/landscape/index.htm.

• Texas NEMO Editorial on Smart Growth
John Jacob, of our TX NEMO affiliate, had an OpEd piece published in the Sunday Houston Chronicle. The editorial focused on the issue of Smart Growth and since it was published on the front page of the opinion section, it appears that this is a dominant issue in Houston these days. -Congrats John!
