A National Tool for Graphing and Synthesizing Continuous and Discrete Water-Quality Data
Provide synthesis of water quality data to better understand the Nation’s water resources
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
Expansion of the Geophysical Survey (GS) data standard and open-source tools
Advancement of GS standard and GSPy software for improved functionality and interoperability of geophysical datasets
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.
Communicating stream fish vulnerability to climate change
We will develop a vulnerability assessment R Shiny web application and present to stakeholders. The stakeholder feedback will be summarized into a one page ‘lessons learned’ document that will assist researchers in designing effective climate change visualizations and an R markdown ‘quick start’ guide on R Shiny applications.
Automated accuracy and quality assessment tools (AQAT = “a cat”) for generalized geospatial data
This project develops an open-source toolkit for the consistent, automated assessment of accuracy and cartographic quality of generalized geospatial data. The toolkit will aid USGS and other stakeholders with the development and use of multiscale data and with associated decision-making.
Informing the use of native plant materials in restoration and rehabilitation with the Native Plant Seed Mapping Toolkit
Restoring ecosystems using native plant materials is a critical pursuit of federal land management agencies following natural disasters and disturbances. The Native Plant Seed Mapping Toolkit provides practitioners with quantitative data to support successful restoration outcomes.
Connecting with our stakeholders - developing a better understanding of use and usability for science products
The value of USGS tools and products can be assessed by collecting use metrics, user feedback, and examples of practical application. We will pilot an approach to assess the utility of two Coastal Change Hazards product releases and establish a guide for tracking the use and user experience of USGS products.
Integrating stream gage records, water presence observations, and models to improve hydrologic prediction in stream networks
Develop a process-guided deep learning modeling framework to integrate high-frequency streamflow data from gages, discrete streamflow measurements, surface water presence/absence observations, and streamflow model outputs to improve hydrological predictions on small streams.
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.
ZenRiver game concept: accelerating creation of machine learning imagery training datasets using citizen science
We aim to develop a web-based game where players use human-assisted image segmentation to produce annotated “meditation drawing” images of surface water sites to accelerate the creation of machine learning imagery training datasets. The game will also public education and outreach opportunities.
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.
