En clair
Le U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK), propose une opportunité de financement pour améliorer les évaluations de la connectivité des plaines inondables et de la santé des paysages fluviaux. Les approches actuelles pour identifier la connectivité des plaines inondables dans l’ouest des États-Unis reposent sur des données de terrain, ce qui limite les inférences et l’étendue spatiale des données.

Résumé
Texte original du bailleur (anglais)
U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS), Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK), is offering a funding opportunity to improve assessments of floodplain connectivity and riverscape health. Current approaches to identify floodplain connectivity across the western United States rely on field data, limiting inference and spatial extent of data. However, existing lidar datasets through the USGS provide unique opportunities to develop approaches using lidar elevation data to provide robust estimates of floodplain connectivity. The ultimate use of these data would be to identify factors limiting healthy riverscapes across the Great Basin.
The CESU partner in collaboration with NOROCK's research fisheries biologist will advance the ability to evaluate riverscape health by addressing one or more of the following considerations to improve assessments of riverscape health:
Develop a workflow for using lidar to estimate floodplain connectivity within riverscapes in the Great Basin.
Demonstrate the benefits this approach in comparison to existing methods.
Quantify continuous estimates of floodplain connectivity across portions of the Great Basin.
Results will be useful to the broader…
