dc.description.abstractIn 2019, approximately 103 participants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (Forest Service), NASA (including representatives from SMAP, NISAR, ICESat-2, GEDI, CMS), and other federal, private and academic entities attended the USFS-NASA Joint Applications Workshop. The objective of this workshop was to increase awareness and understanding of the capabilities of NASA data products, as well as to develop connections and strengthen partnerships between NASA and the Forest Service. In this vein the workshop sought to identify opportunities for collaboration between the Forest Service and NASA on the topics of (1) soil moisture and hydrology, (2) carbon emissions and flux, and (3) vegetation structure and function. During breakout sessions participants discussed key opportunities and challenges of utilizing NASA technology by land management agencies. The list below represents key high-level opportunities for increased USFS-NASA coordination and collaboration to support sustainable natural resource management.en_US
dc.description.sponsorshipThe authors would like to thank U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (Forest Service) and NASA leadership for their support for the workshop. Cynthia West (Forest Service–Northern Research Station Director/Forest Products Lab Director) and Lawrence Friedl (NASA Director, Applied Sciences Program) provided direct support and encouragement in advance of the workshop. We also want to thank the former co–chairs, Erik Johnson (Forest Service) and Chalita Forgotson (NASA), who worked tirelessly to ensure the success of the workshop. Woody Turner, NASA Program Applications Lead for ICESat-2 and Emily Sylak-Glassman, NASA HQ POC, were instrumental in the success of the workshop. The authors also wish to acknowledge and thank our gracious workshop hosts at the Geospatial Technology Applications Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Jess Clark, Justin Epting, and Stacie Bender provided guidance and logistics support in advance of and during the workshop.en_US
