This grant is for enhancing and implementing assessment inventory methods within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPRA). The project emphasizes extensive field-based sampling, synergized with remote sensing, to generate statistically valid estimates of ecological indicators. Crucially, collected field data will ground-truth high-resolution remote-sensing estimates. Intensive sampling is essential for site-level monitoring to address specific management questions. The initiative also aims to integrate data from resource users/operators, ensuring adherence to predefined protocols for consistent data storage and analysis. This comprehensive approach supports robust environmental assessment before and after development activities, providing critical insights for NPRA management.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | This funding opportunity is issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. The successful recipient must be a participant in the CESU program. The data analyses and scientific collaboration constitute technical assistance, and because the BLM is a Federal land management agency, this funding opportunity furthers the CESU objective to provide research, technical assistance, and education to Federal land management, environmental, and research agencies. |

| Description: | This project will focus primarily on extensive, field-based sampling (at the highest density achievable) with remote sensing providing a significant contribution. Field-collected monitoring data that can stand on their own will remain essential to providing statistically-valid estimates of indicator values. These field data will also provide critical ground-truthing information to allow for high-resolution remote-sensing-based estimates of indictor values. Intensive sampling remains critical for site-level monitoring to address specific management questions. Initial scoping suggests that in addition to work already occurring within the BLM and by its partners, that intensive sampling could be collected as needed by resource users/operators prior, and subsequent to, development activities following pre-defined protocols, methods, and data storage requirements. |
