THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED WORK IS TO FILL THIS GAP WITH DEDICATED OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE WORKFLOWS AND TOOLS TO THE BENEFIT OF BOTH REMOTE SENSING AND BIODIVERSITY CHANGE COMMUNITIES.  THE PROPOSED WORK WILL BUILD ON EARLIER DEVELOPMENTS OF GLOBAL REMOTE-SENSING SUPPORTED CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL LAYERS FOR BIODIVERSITY ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOP A GENERAL WORKFLOW THAT ALLOWS THE ENVIRONMENTAL ANNOTATION  VISUALIZATION  AND CHANGE ASSESSMENT FOR PAST AND FUTURE SPATIAL BIODIVERSITY OCCURRENCE DATA.

THIS PROJECT WILL DEVELOP TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND SOFTWARE WORKFLOWS TO EASILY DEVELOP AND SERVE APPROPRIATE SUMMARIES OF ENVIRONMENTAL DATA FOR BIODIVERSITY OBSERVATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE  A LIST OF MIGRATING BIRDS OBSERVED FROM ONE LOCATION ONE AFTERNOON WOULD REQUIRE A DIFFERENT SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL DATA COMPARED TO A LIST OF VASCULAR PLANTS KNOWN TO EXIST IN A 100KM2 PROTECTED AREA. WE WILL DEVELOP ALGORITHMS THAT AUTOMATE APPROPRIATE SUMMARIES OF RELEVANT ENVIRONMENTAL DATA TO CHARACTERIZE THE SPATIOTEMPORAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT OF THE IN-SITU BIODIVERSITY OBSERVATION. FURTHERMORE  THIS SYSTEM WILL DRAW FROM NEAR-REAL TIME COLLECTION OF RS AND RS-DERIVED ENVIRONMENTAL DATA (SUCH AS LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE  PRECIPITATION  AND VEGETATION INDICES) TO ENABLE BOTH HISTORICAL AND NEAR REAL-TIME ANNOTATION OF CONTINUOUSLY UPDATING BIODIVERSITY DATA STREAMS. OUR SCALABLE SYSTEM WILL BE CAPABLE OF FUSING LARGE SPATIAL BIODIVERSITY DATA AVAILABLE THROUGH MAP OF LIFE (HTTPS://MOL.ORG)  INCLUDING DATA ASSETS FROM GBIF (HTTP://WWW.GBIF.ORG >700M RECORDS)  PUBLIC MOVEBANK GPS TRACKING RECORDS (HTTPS://WWW.MOVEBANK.ORG  CA. 20M RECORDS)  AND OTHER INCIDENTAL AND INVENTORY DATASETS (CA. 100M RECORDS). THE GENERALIZED SOFTWARE WORKFLOWS AND TOOLS WILL ENABLE CHARACTERIZATION AND COMPARISON OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSOCIATIONS OF INDIVIDUALS  POPULATIONS OR SPECIES OVER TIME  GLOBALLY. THIS WILL ALLOW THE QUANTIFICATION OF OBSERVED ENVIRONMENTAL NICHES AS WELL AS THE DETECTION OF CHANGE THROUGH TIME IN BOTH ENVIRONMENTAL ASSOCIATIONS AND GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTIONS OF BIODIVERSITY.  OUR PROPOSAL ADDRESSES THE ROSES A.41 SOLICITATION DRAMATICALLY \"IMPROVING THE EASE WITH WHICH THE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY COMMUNITIES CAN UNDERSTAND  SELECT AND USE APPROPRIATELY NASA REMOTE SENSING DATA.\" AND THE PLANNED WORKFLOWS WILL PROVIDE SOME \"AUTOMATED ANALYTIC TECHNIQUES TO SCALE THE USE OF ALL RELEVANT OBSERVATIONAL DATA IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF PATTERNS AND PROCESSES IN BIODIVERSITY\" AS WELL AS \"TOOLS WHICH AID THE RESEARCHER IN FORMULATING AND EVALUATING HYPOTHESES QUICKLY.\" THE PROPOSED WORK WILL ADDRESS THE BIODIVERSITY ASPECT OF THE OVERARCHING SCIENCE GOAL OF THE NASA CC&E FOCUS AREA \"DETECT AND PREDICT CHANGES IN EARTH'S ECOSYSTEMS AND BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES  INCLUDING LAND COVER  BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY  AND THE GLOBAL CARBON CYCLE.\" THE PLANNED ENTRY TRL FOR THIS PROJECT IS 2-3 AND THE EXIT IS AIMED AT TRL 5-6.","funder_award_id":"80NSSC17K0282","funder_id":"https://openalex.org/F4320306101","funder_display_name":"National Aeronautics and Space Administration"}],"funders":[{"id":"https://openalex.org/F4320306076","display_name":"National Science Foundation","ror":"https://ror.org/021nxhr62"},{"id":"https://openalex.org/F4320306101","display_name":"National Aeronautics and Space Administration","ror":"https://ror.org/027ka1x80"},{"id":"https://openalex.org/F4320320022","display_name":"Sight Research UK","ror":"https://ror.org/03z2py885"},{"id":"https://openalex.org/F4320334631","display_name":"Natural Environment Research Council","ror":"https://ror.org/02b5d8509"}],"has_content":{"pdf":false,"grobid_xml":false},"content_urls":null,"referenced_works_count":72,"referenced_works":["https://openalex.org/W599710785","https://openalex.org/W1562192608","https://openalex.org/W1940953808","https://openalex.org/W1943176044","https://openalex.org/W1968085602","https://openalex.org/W1979729367","https://openalex.org/W1980977377","https://openalex.org/W1981011016","https://openalex.org/W1981213426","https://openalex.org/W1996971296","https://openalex.org/W1997359485","https://openalex.org/W1998515817","https://openalex.org/W2021730482","https://openalex.org/W2027259548","https://openalex.org/W2029398668","https://openalex.org/W2030391896","https://openalex.org/W2035279307","https://openalex.org/W2038462691","https://openalex.org/W2042680580","https://openalex.org/W2061477008","https://openalex.org/W2075912726","https://openalex.org/W2080086266","https://openalex.org/W2096092024","https://openalex.org/W2097601813","https://openalex.org/W2098757354","https://openalex.org/W2106211394","https://openalex.org/W2106718643","https://openalex.org/W2111567623","https://openalex.org/W2112315008","https://openalex.org/W2112776483","https://openalex.org/W2123654935","https://openalex.org/W2126822776","https://openalex.org/W2132810849","https://openalex.org/W2135744524","https://openalex.org/W2138586382","https://openalex.org/W2138788795","https://openalex.org/W2139934970","https://openalex.org/W2142237209","https://openalex.org/W2158756002","https://openalex.org/W2160271653","https://openalex.org/W2161139387","https://openalex.org/W2164623622","https://openalex.org/W2169207897","https://openalex.org/W2171258421","https://openalex.org/W2216692843","https://openalex.org/W2272473773","https://openalex.org/W2312858779","https://openalex.org/W2313199641","https://openalex.org/W2322624959","https://openalex.org/W2333088479","https://openalex.org/W2412175981","https://openalex.org/W2412247133","https://openalex.org/W2472420705","https://openalex.org/W2514688832","https://openalex.org/W2515253084","https://openalex.org/W2518044295","https://openalex.org/W2554604218","https://openalex.org/W2557018123","https://openalex.org/W2614464134","https://openalex.org/W2799499622","https://openalex.org/W2800062427","https://openalex.org/W2804001102","https://openalex.org/W2915970731","https://openalex.org/W2941462030","https://openalex.org/W2952896657","https://openalex.org/W2974297946","https://openalex.org/W3015337401","https://openalex.org/W3016907626","https://openalex.org/W3036624180","https://openalex.org/W4235887661","https://openalex.org/W4361016261","https://openalex.org/W7006478022"],"related_works":["https://openalex.org/W3168531219","https://openalex.org/W2052328278","https://openalex.org/W2907494903","https://openalex.org/W2958659714","https://openalex.org/W2340058369","https://openalex.org/W2166989696","https://openalex.org/W4391398360","https://openalex.org/W2010063655","https://openalex.org/W2053110386","https://openalex.org/W2149207211"],"abstract_inverted_index":null,"counts_by_year":[{"year":2026,"cited_by_count":6},{"year":2025,"cited_by_count":9},{"year":2024,"cited_by_count":11},{"year":2023,"cited_by_count":3},{"year":2022,"cited_by_count":13},{"year":2021,"cited_by_count":5},{"year":2020,"cited_by_count":2},{"year":2018,"cited_by_count":2}],"updated_date":"2026-08-28T12:50:07.497085","created_date":"2025-10-10T00:00:00"}
