Redmond (Division of Biological Sciences) with the Montana Gap Analysis Project its primary undertaking. At that time, few statewide datasets were available; considerable effort went into building the necessary layers, and the lab developed expertise in remote sensing and handling large datasets. , along with the first statewide map of land cover at relatively fine scale (30 m resolution and 2 ha minimum mapping unit.) Over the years, SAL has undertaken a wide range of other remote sensing and GIS projects. When Dr. Redmond retired in 2007, SAL joined the Montana National Heritage Program (MTNHP). Jessica Mitchell has served as director since 2018.
