The National Park Service (NPS) is offering this grant to advance its enterprise-based Geospatial Information System (GIS) capabilities within the Northeast Region. This grant is for critical resource-based geospatial data collection, analysis, and delivery. Specific objectives include designing a data repository for covered bridges, assessing sea level rise impacts at Gateway NRA, and performing remote sensing vegetation accuracy assessments at Cape Cod NS. Furthermore, it supports investigating and applying LiDAR technology for revealing and identifying archaeological sites at Valley Forge NHP and Saratoga NHP. The grant also covers phase 3 of Prototype Enterprise GIS applications, modeling site-specific environmental characteristics using EGIS at Morristown NHP and Minute Man NHP, and modeling water quality impacts from natural gas exploration near Upper Delaware SRR. These diverse efforts aim to bolster data-driven resource management across various parks.
