Multiscale assessment of landscapes and watersheds with synoptic multivariate spatial data in environmental and ecological statistics

The paper attempts to provide a multiscale assessment of landscapes and watersheds using synoptic multivariate spatial data. Multiscale assessment is a frontier problem in environmental and ecological statistics today. The paper briefly deals with univariate surface data, multivariate signal data, and multicover categorical data, and applies stochastic conceptualization involving dendrogram trees and conditional entropies with special reference to the landscapes and watersheds of Pennsylvania.
