The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $599,801 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to develop innovative cyberinfrastructure and a scientific community focused on leveraging ground-based imagery in ecohydrological studies.
The key products to be delivered through this 3-year project include: (1) open-source software for streamlining workflows and enabling reproducible science with ground-based imagery; (2) benchmark data products, including from PhenoCam archives, to promote method development and data standards; and (3) training resources to broaden participation in the emerging scientific community using fixed cameras for environmental monitoring and research. The project aims to empower a wide range of users, including those without strong STEM or data science backgrounds, to advance ecohydrological discoveries through the use of ground-based imagery. This effort will complement existing remote sensing capabilities while developing robust cyberinfrastructure and a collaborative community around this imagery-based approach.
