Developing a standardized statewide geospatial dataset of water agencies for California

The Water Resources and Policy Initiatives (WRPI) seeks to create a standardized statewide geospatial dataset of water agencies for California. The dataset will contain clean, consistent geometry and key information (attributes) about the state?s array of water agencies and their operations. In order to initiate this effort, the framework for this database, including a standardized classification system and pi...

Earth Station Lab Project

Polymath Geo proposes to develop an easy to use internet based application (App) that will host earth science lesson plans by utilizing open source educational and GIS software which incorporates the interactive use of satellite remote sensing data. The App will be flexible enough to handle the great diversity of data that is available, but also simple enough for students to use. To demonstrate utility, capacity and potential, the Center for Geospatial Science & Techn...

Impact of Sea-Level Rise on Groundwater Pollution Vulnerability in Shallow Coastal Aquifers

The impact of rising sea levels on surface flooding (coastal inundation) has been thoroughly explored for low-lying metropolitan areas. Less understood, however, is the impact that rising sea levels will have on groundwater levels. We will evaluate potential impacts using various Geographic Information System (GIS) methodologies and gridless groundwater flow models that have been applied in other regional...

US Forest Service Monitoring Plots: Data Processing and Attribution Project

The United States Forest Service (USFS) monitors urban forest to assess and predict changes in the urban forest resource over time. In Los Angeles County, the USFS Pacific Southwest Research Station monitors approximately 240, 10th acre urban forest monitoring plots. Although USFS has information such as tree canopy, species composition and health, the agency would like to associate supplementary information with the pl...

Geological and Geophysical (G&G) Dataset Improvement

BOEM Pacific intends to partner with California State University, Northridge?s Center for Geographical Studies (CGS) to improve the Bureau?s geologic and geophysical (G&G) dataset. This mutually beneficial arrangement allows CGS to train its students on a unique dataset that is fraught with real world data management issues while also providing BOEM with collaboration opportunities and an improved G&G dataset to accomplish its mission. Howeve...

NHD/WBD Statewide Update Project 2.0

The California State University, Northridge Center for Geographical Studies will provide services to the Division of Statewide Integrated Water Management of the Department of Water Resources (DWR) The objectives are to improve the High Resolution NHD, which will include polygonal, linear, and point features and all associated NHD attributes within mutually agreed upon priority areas at a 1:24,000 scale. The edits will meet the United States Geological Survey...

Operational Evapotranspiration for the State of New Mexico

An automated system has been designed to operationally produce and deliver evapotranspiration data to water resource managers. Planning and formulation of the system and development of the Scope of Work (SOW) for the Western Water Applications Office (WWAO) will occur through a partnership with the Center for Geographical Studies (CGS) at California State University, Northridge. The proposed system to be described in the SOW will include:...
