Weeding Our National Garden: Using NASA's Resources to Help Control Invasive Species in the U.S.
NASA and the US Geological Survey are working together to develop the "Invasive Species Forecasting System". The system is helping in the national fight against invasive species by predicting their habitat throughout the country and areas where they are likely to invade. This is being done by combining the latest advances in remote sensing, computing, and spatial modeling technologies. We will describe how MODIS time series data are being summarized through phenology metrics. We then discuss how these summary metrics are used to create regional maps of habitat suitability.
