USGS Data in K-12 Education: Inspiring Future Scientists
Co-producing adaptable applications and trainings using USGS data to enhance data literacy in K-12 education.
SeeOtter: Improving software for AI-assisted processing of imagery for wildlife surveys
Expanding documentation, accessibility, and flexibility of a powerful AI tool for wildlife aerial photo-survey processing
Beginners Git, GitLab & Software Release Carpentries-like Training for USGS Personnel to Facilitate Open Science
Teach USGS personnel Git within code.usgs.gov to develop, track, share, and publish their code.
Extracting data from maps: applying lessons learned from the AI for Critical Mineral Assessment Competition
This project will share techniques developed in two AI/ML competitions run in Fall 2022, Automated Map Georeferencing, and Automated Map Feature Extraction with USGS stakeholders. We will develop a strategy to operationalize successful approaches, benefiting any activity that uses legacy map data.
Availability, documentation, & community support for an open-source machine learning tool
We will make cutting-edge spectral analysis and machine learning algorithms available to remote sensing and chemical quantification communities, regardless of the user’s programming skills, by releasing, documenting, presenting, and developing tutorials for the Python Hyperspectral Analysis Tool.
Increasing data accessibility by adding existing datasets and capabilities to a cutting-edge visualization app to enable cross-community use
We will collate and publish existing datasets from collaborators and ingest them into a visualization app to help researchers with machine learning model-building and hypothesis-making. These data collation and app development methods could help other researchers increase their data accessibility.
Circle Round the River: A Summit for Collaborative Sharing of Flood Knowledge with Tribal Colleges and Tribal Environmental Professionals
We propose a summit for USGS and Tribal nation partners to share critical knowledge of past and future flooding. The summit will build on USGS research investigating changing flood conditions, improve access to flood information, and aid in building climate resilient communities.
Building a Roadmap for Making Data FAIR in the U.S. Geological Survey
FAIR is an international set of principles for improving the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of research data and other digital products. The PIs for this CDI project planned and hosted a workshop of USGS data stakeholders, data professionals, and managers of USGS data systems from across the Bureau’s Mission Areas. Workshop participants shared case studies that foste
Mapping Land-Use, Hazard Vulnerability and Habitat Suitability Using Deep Neural Networks
Deep learning is a computer analysis technique inspired by the human brain’s ability to learn. It involves several layers of artificial neural networks to learn and subsequently recognize patterns in data, forming the basis of many state-of-the-art applications from self-driving cars to drug discovery and cancer detection. Deep neural networks are capable of learning many levels of abstraction, an
Workflows to Support Integrated Predictive Science Capacity: Forecasting Invasive Species for Natural Resource Planning and Risk Assessment
Insect pests cost billions of dollars per year globally, negatively impacting food crops and infrastructure and contributing to the spread of disease. Timely information regarding developmental stages of pests can facilitate early detection and control, increasing efficiency and effectiveness. To address this need, the USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN) created a suite of “Pheno Forecast” ma
Content Specifications to Enable USGS Transition to ISO Metadata Standard
USGS will soon transition to the international metadata standards known collectively as ISO 19115. The open-ended nature of ISO benefits with much greater flexibility and vocabulary to describe research products. However, that flexibility means few constraints that can guide authors and ensure standardized, robust documentation across the bureau. This project proposed that the USGS data community
Data Management Workshop
An additional product not originally on the funded activities list was organized for the newly-formed Science Data Coordinator Network. The Network invited 2 representatives from each of the USGS geographic areas, and several mission areas, to participate in a Data Management Workshop. The Workshop was organized by Viv Hutchison and taught by Tom Chatfield of the Bureau of Land Management. The cou
