This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Geospatial Program: Building The National Map (CFDA 15.817) provides $410,000.00 to the New York State Office of Information Technology Services (ITS) to collect high-quality Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data covering Nassau and Suffolk counties in New York. The project will update the existing elevation dataset, which is from 2014 and has a point spacing of 0.7 meters, to meet at minimum Quality Level 2...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $1,303,940 Cooperative Agreement under the National Geospatial Program: Building The National Map (CFDA 15.817) to the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) to update Missouri's digital riverine and wetland data. This multi-year effort, spanning from August 2024 to July 2026, aims to improve the accuracy of geospatial datasets critical for natural disaster planning and response, as well as natural resource management. The project focuses on...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $2,657,323 Cooperative Agreement to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) under the National Geospatial Program: Building The National Map (CFDA 15.817). The project, titled "WASHINGTON SIX COUNTIES RE-COLLECTION PROJECT", will fund the collection of 7,770 square miles of full LiDAR coverage over six counties in Washington state at the Quality Level 1 standard. This re-collection effort will update and maintain...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $260,000 Cooperative Agreement under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) to the Desert Research Institute (DRI), a component of the Nevada System of Higher Education, to assess the accuracy and scalability of newly developed Li-Cor evapotranspiration (ET) sensors. The project will deploy four Li-Cor ET sensors at four field sites, including agricultural, natural rangeland, and open water locations, to conduct paired...

The US Geological Survey, through its National Geospatial Program: Building The National Map (CFDA 15.817), awarded a $197,452 cooperative agreement to the Commonwealth Office Of Technology on March 26, 2021 to complete by March 25, 2023.
