From the Space Mart news web site: "...the UM satellite sensor, a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), works far better than other types of remote sensing technology for broad-scaled ecological studies. It is very difficult to study bird breeding habitat over large area from ground surveys, as birds are so mobile. MODIS allows a broad regional view of the landscape similar to the view birds have from the air".
