General Information
1.0 Scope of Work
In-depth training tailored to our staff needs, i.e., focused on techniques and topics pertaining to Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) relational databases, bringing attendees from novice to intermediate/advanced levels of understanding.
Specific courses include coding languages for data queries; data visualization programs; and code repository/posting.
Six course topics have been identified (see background and contractor requirements for details). Staff from multiple functional groups (e.g., analysis, resource use, methods) and research stations will be enrolled.
2.0 Background.
There is a need to enhance the capacity and capabilities of our staff to efficiently query our database, present findings in clear and aesthetically pleasing ways, and allow for transparency and security. These skills directly relate to our mission to analyze and present data. The increased efficiency is especially important when our staff is required to perform rapid analysis, such as disaster impacts on the forest resource. Specific course topics were selected based on “training needs” input from Southern Research Station (SRS) employees.
