The US Geological Survey is offering a research grant through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Gulf Coast CESU, aiming to advance techniques in extracting critical information from high-resolution topographic data. The grant focuses on evaluating feature extraction algorithms, developing guidelines for lidar practitioners, and enhancing the scalability of extraction tools for widespread usability. Researchers will work on different landscape characteristics like the Eel River, Minnesota River, and Death Valley. The closing date for applications is March 31, 2014.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering funding opportunity to conduct research to advance techniques to extract critical information about the Earth¿s surface from high-resolution topographic data to better understand river channel networks and near-channel environments. Specific tasks are to (i) assess the state-of the-art of feature extraction algorithms by testing them on landscapes of different characteristics (Eel River, Minnesota River, Death Valley); (ii) develop guidelines directed to lidar practitioners for filtering and feature extraction as a function of dominant landscape processes; (iii) improve scalability and usability of feature extraction tools to allow their distribution as more user-friendly, national-scale, production-grade tools. |
