Cross Cutting Decision Support System Project April 5, 2006 IAGT Project Team: Ben Houston; Nate Krause; Emily Mercurio; Kevin Neimond; Matt Starr
Who is IAGT? • Established in 2002 • Private 501(c)(3) not-for-profit • Located on the campus of Cayuga Community College in Auburn, NY • IAGT works closely with NASA to “advance the use of geospatial technology in society.” Above: the James T. Walsh Regional Economic Center At Right: IAGT’s MODIS Direct Broadcast System
Cross Cutting Decision Support System Project • Enhancement of a Prototype Crosscutting Multi-Jurisdictional Decision Support System in the Greater Northeastern Region of the United States (CCDSS) • NASA Grant; March, 2005 – February, 2007 • Project Goals: • Investigate the integration of USGS ground monitoring technologies and water resources data with NASA’s Earth Observing System data and systems to enhance Decision Support Tools (DST’s) • Development of tools and applications that reach across levels of government (“Cross Cutting”)
Cross Cutting Decision Support System Project cont. • Project Objectives • DST Development Based on Stakeholder Needs • Leverage Existing DST Technologies and Experience Where Possible • Enhancement and Benchmarking of Prototype Decision Support Tool(s) (DST) and Deployment to14 State Region • Enhance DST’s Through Integration of NASA and USGS Assets
General Project Structure • Regulatory/Operational Needs • Existing DSTs, Visualization Technologies • NASA/USGS Technology Integration • Result: Decision Support Tools To Support Water Resource Management Needs
Northeast Affiliates (NEAF) • What is the Northeast Affiliates (NEAF) group? • The state GIS coordinators for 14 Northeastern states. • NEAF was formed in 2000 after the NASA Northeast Regional Conference. • Mission is to promote the use of remote sensing and geospatial information technology and data in state, local, and regional government organizations in the Northeast US.
Project Initiation: RFI Process • Step 1: NEAF Involvement • Distributed an initial request for information (RFI) to the 14 Northeast Affiliate representatives • Contacts to key water resource (and related) management leaders in their states. • Step 2: NEAF-Identified Contacts (@ 50) • Distributed a second RFI to the identified leaders from Step 1 • Water resource management/regulatory issues that could benefit or be improved from remote sensing and geospatial information technologies.
The Results from Our RFI Process • Two water resource management issues were continually cited across the 14 states: • Flooding • Water Quality • Project “stakeholders” were chosen from the initial group of leaders based on their expertise in water quality, flooding, and/or technology.
Monitoring Network • Enabling Technology to be Integrated with DST(s) and Visualizations • Address Needs and Issues of Stakeholders • Not Just a New Set of Tools • Possible Functional Elements • Single Point of Access for wide range of Systems, Data Access/Reporting, Models, WMS… • Data Portal • Enhancement of Data Web Services through Mapping, Visualizations, Graphics
Terra Sample Technologies For Consideration • NASA Data, Technologies, Systems • Landsat, MODIS, LiDAR • Decision Support Systems • Visualization (Google Earth; VMOCTM; NASA World Wind, …) • Field Data Systems and Data Links • Stream Gage Networks (USGS, Local/Regional) • Nutrient Monitoring (Local/Regional) • Weather (NWS, NRCC, State, Educ. Facilities) • Buoys (Great Lakes, Coastal, Finger Lakes) • Data Gateways; Web Map Services; Web File Services
Project Phases • Phase 1 (January – June 2006): • Discussions with stakeholders to gather feedback, ideas, and requirements for the development of geospatial based flooding and water quality decision support tools. • Phase 2 (July – December 2006): • Development, prototyping, deployment and testing of DST, Monitoring Network, Visualizations based on requirements derived in Phase 1. • IAGT Technical Design (@ March – September, 2006)
Phase 1 Work Sessions • Series of Teleconferences (Feb – June, 2006) • Facilitated Session & Conference (April 4 - 6, 2006) • Remote Sensing Across the Great Lakes: Observations, Monitoring and Action(Great Lakes Regional Data Exchange, ASPRS) • Full Day Workshop April 4
Workshop • 24 Participants from 7 States • PA, VT, MI, WI, IA, NY, MN • Federal - County • Four Facilitated Exercises – Flooding and Water Quality • Water Resource Issues • Relevancy of Geospatial Technologies • Functional Needs and Products • Technical Capabilities • Lots of Information • Thank You to All Participants !
