Project Description: This project aims to create tools that improve the accessibility, interoperability, and usability of natural resource data—including inventory, monitoring, air quality, and weather datasets. By making these datasets easier for researchers, educators, and decision-makers to analyze and apply, the project supports federal priorities to expand data accessibility, strengthen understanding of natural resources, promote evidence-based decision-making, and advance conservation and land-management efforts.
To achieve these goals, the project will produce data analysis and visualization tools, along with user training guides and related materials. Project steps include conducting a discovery and needs assessment, designing a data workflow, developing analytical tools, and implementing and maintaining the system. The project will culminate in a final report and a scientific publication detailing the development process and the resulting analytical and visualization tools, enabling replication and adaptation for other natural resource data repositories.
