A Tool for Rapid-Repeat High-Resolution Coastal Vegetation Maps to Improve Forecasting of Hurricane Impacts and Coastal Resilience
We developed a Jupyter Notebook Application and a Graphical User Interface that use Planet Labs Super Dove 8-band, 3-meter multispectral imagery and a machine learning classification model to deliver high-resolution maps of coastal vegetation showing near real-time conditions. These products will help improve forecasts of hurricane impacts.
Facilitating Knowledge Integration with a Monitoring Protocol Registry
This project identified collected, and characterized existing online monitoring methods and protocol collection tools that USGS manages or is a substantial collaborator. It also identified the common elements between existing protocol libraries content and functionality. The project examined the results of the USGS Monitoring workshop in December 2011 that provided information about...
Data Management Plan Implementation and Framework
This project aimed to advance the long-standing need for a more formalized approach to data management planning at the science center (program) level in USGS. The study used two different science centers as test cases. Improved planning for data management and data integration is identified in the Bureau science strategy goals (U.S. Geological Survey, 2007; Burkett and others, 2011) with...
