Historical Remote Sensing Analysis of Dust Bowl Drought in Kansas: Corrected and Georeferenced 1936 Aerial Photographs

This dataset includes a collection of corrected and georeferenced overlapping first-generation aerial photographs from 1936, created to support the study "Historical Remote Sensing Analysis of Dust Bowl Drought in Kansas." The original images have been processed to correct distortions and aligned using georeferencing techniques, producing an accurate and seamless spatial representation of Hamilton County, Kansas.

The overlapping nature of the photographs allows for stereo interpretation and enhanced visual analysis, making it possible to extract terrain features and assess land surface conditions in greater detail. This dataset is particularly valuable for evaluating land use changes, land degradation and vegetation patterns, and environmental impacts in regions historically affected by Dust Bowl drought conditions.

Images are provided in GeoTIFF format, suitable for GIS applications, historical land cover analysis, and temporal change detection.
