Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Great Lakes Northern Forests Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit

The US Geological Survey, Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center, is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research centered on improvements in land cover research by focusing on investigating and implementing state-of-the-art sampling and statistical strategies for accuracy assessment and area estimation, and the impacts of reference data uncertainties. This will be useful for characterizing the validity of USGS land cover change products such as National Land Cover Database (NLCD) and the Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection annual science products.
