This cooperative agreement funds research to enhance methodologies for detecting plant species habitats across broad regions using satellite information. Focus areas include improving data pipelines, assessing model transferability, analyzing spatial uncertainty, and delivering actionable data and code to support land management decisions, particularly for invasive and fire-promoting species. Collaboration between USGS and CESU university partners is central to this effort.
Eligibility is open to CESU partners, specifically universities with capabilities in plant ecology, statistical programming, and remote sensing. Additional eligibility details are referenced but not specified.
