Formatting and rescaling water use data for the IWAAs National Report Formatting and rescaling water use data for the IWAAs National Report
This software release contains code to create the fractional intersectional weights used to crosswalk data from the National Water Use Program to the National Integrated Water Availability Assessment (IWAAs) projects. The Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) contains polygons that define the spatial boundaries of hydrologic units. These are periodically updated as these boundary definitions...
Bayesian Composition Sampling Bayesian Composition Sampling
R Code to Run Composition Sampling for Cook et al. 2023 The aim of this software is to perform composition sampling on simulated disease observation data. Composition sampling is a valuable approach for statistical inference in data limited systems. This software implements composition sampling on simulated chronic wasting disease surveillance data in white-tailed deer in Michigan, U.S...
Code for quantitative support for the benefits of proactive management for wildlife disease control Code for quantitative support for the benefits of proactive management for wildlife disease control
This software release contains the input data, R scripts, and Rmarkdown visualization scripts. This includes (i) aggregation code of expert elicited parameter estimates, (ii) simulation code using our develop dynamic multi-state occupancy model for no management, proactive management, and reactive management, (iii) code for probabilistic decision trees, and (iv) Rmarkdown scripts...
RUSH: Rapid Remote Sensing Updates of landcover for Storm and Hurricane forecasts (Version 1.0.0) RUSH: Rapid Remote Sensing Updates of landcover for Storm and Hurricane forecasts (Version 1.0.0)
RUSH is a tool for rapid repeat high resolution coastal vegetation maps to improve forecasting of hurricane impacts and coastal resilience. Natural coastal vegetated ecosystems, including tidal marshes, vegetated dunes, and shrub- and forest-dominated wetlands, provide nature-based solutions to climate-related impacts of hurricanes. Extensive research has shown that vegetation cover in...
Model-based decomposition reveals spatially varying temporal shifts in seasonal streamflow profiles across north temperate US Rivers Model-based decomposition reveals spatially varying temporal shifts in seasonal streamflow profiles across north temperate US Rivers
Understanding changes in the timing and magnitude of streamflows available to maintain riverine biodiversity and ecological function, while also meeting the increasing societal demands on water resources, is a global priority. A rigorous quantification of seasonal changes in streamflow is needed to inform water management and policy under global change. We introduce a hierarchical...
Digital Shoreline Analysis System (version 6) Digital Shoreline Analysis System (version 6)
The Digital Shoreline Analysis System (version 6) is a stand-alone desktop application that complements a Geographic Information System (GIS). The DSAS software requires users to input a reference baseline and compilation of shoreline positions to generate measurement transects and shoreline intersections used to calculate rate-of-change statistics. DSAS provides an automated method for...
