Science Analytics and Synthesis (SAS)
Home
Science Analytics and Synthesis (SAS) emphasizes a science data lifecycle approach to Earth systems data and information. We strive to accelerate research and decision making through data science, information delivery, advanced computing, and biodiversity analytics.
Gap Analysis Project Species Viewer
The Gap Analysis Project Species Viewer is focused on providing access to species range maps and predicted habitat distribution models for species within the continental U.S. through an interactive map, allowing the user to explore the data.
ViewerHawaii Waterfalls Linked to the National Hydrography Datasets
Waterfall locations and estimated waterfall heights on five of the main Hawaiian Islands linked the NHD. Knowing waterfall locations and characteristics can aide in understanding species distributions and migration patterns across stream networks.

Refining the coarse filter approach: Using habitat-based species models to identify rarity and vulnerabilities in the protection of U.S. biodiversity
Preserving biodiversity and its many components is a priority of conservation science and how to efficiently allocate resources to preserve healthy populations of as many species, habitats, and ecosystems as possible. We used the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Gap Analysis Project (GAP) species models released in 2018, which identify...
