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.

Leveraging Existing USGS Streamgage Data to Map Flood-Prone Areas

We will develop reproducible workflows in R and Python to combine already existing and underutilized field data collected as part of the USGS streamgage network with remotely sensed data to map flood-prone areas for various recurrence intervals in both gaged and ungaged stream reaches.

Enhancing usability of 3DEP data and web services with Jupyter notebooks

We propose to develop a suite of Jupyter notebooks that leverage existing APIs, cloud storage, and open source tools to make it easier for users to efficiently access USGS 3DEP data and to produce data processing and visualization workflows. These notebooks will enhance data utilization, stimulate creative applications, and generate significant return on investment for 3DEP.

CorVis: A lidar point cloud tool for visualization and analysis of corridors such as hydrologic, energy, and transportation networks

An open-source tool for 3D visualization of lidar point cloud data along a vector line network and output of related lidar metrics. This tool will make available the valuable attribute data of point clouds to enable research such as riparian zone and migration corridor vegetation structure analysis or characterizing the related built environment.

Database tools for standardization & automation of eDNA workflows

We propose to bring in expertise from multiple USGS environmental DNA (eDNA) labs to create a database to track samples from initial collection through analysis and reporting and to long-term storage. We will publish this tracking template so it can be implemented within eDNA labs across the USGS.

Quantifying landcover drivers of urban extreme heat by generating nationwide and city-specific analytical models

We synthesize local high-resolution urban landcover imagery with microclimate data and regional meteorology to determine landcover drivers of extreme urban heat. Resulting outputs are mappable items spatially describing urban temperatures at fine scales, and a web application to analyze changes in urban heat under different climate scenarios.

Engaging Indigenous Communities to Co-Design a Real-time Monitoring Application to Protect their Socio-Cultural and Ecological Areas

Everglades tree islands are traditional homes of the Miccosukee and Seminole Tribes and contain their ancestral remains, but no monitoring tool exists for water managers to protect sites from destructive flooding. We propose stakeholder workshops to codesign a monitoring application with the Tribes.

Building a USGS community for FAIR & integrated modeling​

This project develops an approach to common questions USGS scientists are faced with when working on multidisciplinary teams to address complex challenges — what models are available? When is it appropriate to couple/integrate models? And how can we apply technology to support an appropriate approach?
