Answering Ecological Management Questions for Aquatic Resources in National Parks Using GIS and Remote Sensing Tools

The interdisciplinary nature of this effort requires the programmatic integration of the knowledge of biological and physical resources, digital cartography, and geography for the development, analysis and use of geographic and relational databases that are pertinent to aquatic park resources and themes. GIS and remote sensing will be used to document, analyze and integrate the management of natural and cultural resources in their environmental context or to manage the environment in the context of the resources. Work products will be provided to the public and park staff on NPS Websites and other publications.
