Wild horse aerial double observer survey analysis R script Wild horse aerial double observer survey analysis R script
This R file estimates horse abundance by analyzing data from simultaneous double-observer aerial surveys. The code follows analytical procedures established by Dr. Bruce Lubow, the statistician contracted for many years by Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Field data collection techniques are described in the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), which is a separate document. Download the...
popcluster: Developing Hierarchical Population Monitoring Frameworks for mobile species with high site fidelity popcluster: Developing Hierarchical Population Monitoring Frameworks for mobile species with high site fidelity
The software "popcluster" constructs hierarchically nested groupings of similar habitats associated with field surveys while considering biological structure/connectedness (movements between habitats). This approach can support mobile species with high site fidelity where monitoring during surveys occurs on birthing grounds, breeding grounds, or stopovers/seasonal habitat for migratory...
Geospatial Route Interface Tool (GRIT) Geospatial Route Interface Tool (GRIT)
The Geospatial Route Interface Tool (GRIT) is a Microsoft Windows desktop, graphical user interface application, written in an open source programming language (Python) that references ESRI Geographic Information System (GIS) python functions. The software streamlines and refines the process of analyzing transportation data and natural resources data, thereby improving the efficiency and...
Software to Process and Preserve Legacy Magnetotelluric Data Software to Process and Preserve Legacy Magnetotelluric Data
The USGS Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center (CGGSC) collaborated with the USGS Data at Risk (DaR) team to preserve and release a subset of magnetotelluric data from the San Andreas Fault in Parkfield, California. The San Andreas Fault data were collected by the Branch of Geophysics, a precursor to the now CGGSC, between 1989 and 1994. The magnetotelluric data selected for...
Metadata Wizard Metadata Wizard
The MetadataWizard is a useful tool designed to facilitate FGDC metadata creation for spatial and non-spatial data sets.
Fortran Program for Estimating Stream Transit Losses of Reusable Water, El Paso and Pueblo Counties, Colorado Fortran Program for Estimating Stream Transit Losses of Reusable Water, El Paso and Pueblo Counties, Colorado
The transit-loss accounting program, which has been in continuous daily use in some form since April 1989, has provided water-rights administrators with a tool to effectively manage RRFs and administer water diversion priorities along Fountain Creek on a daily basis.
SmartRiver GIS SmartRiver GIS
Smart River GIS allows simultaneous views of river hydraulics, species-specific habitat, and fish population simulations, for a better understanding of complex ecological interactions. We used existing data sets from the South Platte River in Colorado to develop a multi-layered geographic information system (GIS) that resource managers can use to improve their understanding of river...
