Accessible, high-quality data are fundamental to a successful monitoring program and key programs’ success in supporting decision making. Effective use of these data requires the application of best management and data sharing practices – whether the data were gathered by direct observation, generated through remote sensing, or derived (as with a calculated metric or indicator).
PNAMP supports partners in achieving best practices by:
- Creating opportunities for experts to share knowledge to highlight new approaches, promote best practices and encouraging standardized methods via workshops, working groups
- Facilitating new methods to flow information between regional, subregional, and international databases/repositories and projects collecting and analyzing data
- Facilitating the development of needed data exchange standards and data documentation
- Supporting tools and resources to enable documentation of methods and protocols for data collection and analyses
Project Team
The ad hoc working group leading these activities includes participants from state, Tribal, federal and international partners. Contact Jen Bayer (jbayer@usgs.gov) for more information.
