Learn from practical experience of wetland scientists, engineers, and technologists on how to best utilize the new technology ecosystem in respect to wetland mitigation due diligence, planning, and monitoring. Hear from field scientists and providers of GIS software for how to best utilize USFWS’s IPaC tool online for initial site information, wetland predictions modeling, field applications for monitoring and field mapping efficiency, and satellite monitoring. See how your workflow already fits in with the utilization of the following tools for wetlands:
• USFWS’s IPaC tool for completing initial environmental due diligence when scoping a new bank
• Esri’s ArcHydro WIM tool for preliminary assessments and wetland prediction models
• Ecobot field app for wetland delineations, mitigation monitoring, and field mapping
• Upstream Tech (Lens) long term satellite for mitigation bank monitoring (15 mins)
Data collection and analysis are the foundation for the creation of knowledge, and knowledge leads to the protection of our natural resources while enabling economic progress. The right kind of technology gets out of the scientist’s way and allows for a greater percentage of attention and focus on the creation of this critical knowledge. Learn how these tools can help you and your team to be more efficient and effective scientists. Several case studies completed by fellow regional wetland scientists will also be presented as part of the proceedings of this workshop.
