[PCA] WEBINAR: Rangeland Analysis Platform - New Website, New App! Sept. 25; 12noon ET

[De Angelis, Patricia]

RANGELAND ANALYSIS PLATFORM
Sept. 25; 12noon ET

Duration: 1 hour

What will you learn?

Participate to learn about the Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) - a free,
online tool that helps landowners and natural resource managers track
vegetation through time and plan actions to improve America's grazing
lands.

The Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) is a free, online tool that helps
landowners and natural resource managers track vegetation through time and
plan actions to improve America's grazing lands. The RAP can be used to
provide strategies to improve productivity of grazing lands, manage weeds,
mitigate impacts of wildfire and drought, and benefit wildlife habitats.
Powered by Google Earth Engine, RAP merges machine learning and cloud-based
computing with remote sensing and field data to provide the first-ever
annual cover maps of rangeland vegetation. This new platform allows people
to view trends in rangeland resources at an unprecedented blend of space
(from the Great Plains to the Pacific Ocean), time (1984 to present), and
scale (at the ranch, watershed, or county level). Designed to be combined
with local knowledge, the RAP helps users better understand vegetation
change through time to aid in conservation planning and outcome evaluation.
This webinar will describe the innovative breakthrough in mapping
vegetation cover and demonstrate RAP applications.

The app is available for free at rangelands.app.
