Recording insect and disease damage using the new Digital Mobile Sketch Map (DMSM) system. 2018 is the first year the system's used for forest health data collection in Oregon and Washington.
Note: "DMSM is tablet hardware, software, and back end data support processes (ArcGIS Desktop Tools) that allow trained aerial surveyors, in light aircraft, and ground observers to record forest disturbances and their causal agents. DMSM replaces the legacy Digital Aerial Sketch Mapping (DASM) and will greatly enhance the quality and quantity of forest health data while improving safety by integrating with programs such as operational remote sensing (ORS) which uses satellite imagery to monitor disturbances."
