Target Audience: Training and outreach efforts are targeted to rural geospatial technology users throughout the U.S., including tribes and tribal members, in all disciplines including agriculture, environment, climate, economics, rural development, and emergency response. In Pennsylvania, web applications for agriculture are aimed at the 60,000 farms that need conservation and nutrient management plans and the entire agricultural industry that can be assisted by online marketing support. Native Americans from across the county are served by RGIS-SIPI. Each RGIS site includes large audiences of GIS users and groups that benefit from educational materials, software tools provided by RGIS, or geospatial analyses conducted by RGIS. Changes/Problems: The work on the project ended in June 2012. The subcontracts did not clear within 90 days of the end date and the project needed to receive a request for an extension to allow payment to be made. Project was extended for financial reasons only; no further work was conducted since June 2012 on this grant. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?
Nothing Reported
How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? RGIS Chesapeake - Penn State University continued development of the Pennsylvania OneStop Conservation Planning and Nutrient Management System, provided technical assistance, training and support to the GIS User Community in Pennsylvania, developed an agricultural drought vulnerability assessment system for Pa, and evaluated use of multi-return LiDAR data to quantify forest spatial configuration and composition. RGIS Chesapeake - Wilkes University developed and deployed beta versions of "Pollmap", a public opinion collection tool to provide support to the community of interest portal concept, and supported local government in the implementing geodpatial technologies. RGIS Great Lakes continued development and dissemination of spatial information technologies and analyses that can assist Wisconsin's transition to a "bioeconomy," developed tools and approaches for communities to locate and evaluate the potential of community and collective gardens for individual or small-scale commercial vegetable production, and promoted and evaluated the impacts of GIS and participatory processes in land use planning. RGIS Great Plains assisted River Watch Teams with a GIS sedimentation loading analysis, conducted water quality data collection and collected dual-camera video mapping along Red Lake River, utilized LiDAR data to calculate vegetation height for blowing snow research, and conducted a test flight for a video mapping payload on an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). RGIS Mid South developed an automated methodology for assessing image accuracy, developed 3D visualization tools for economic development and planning, developed a bio-fuel decision support tool to evaluate site selection, supported rural first responders and disaster mitigation planning efforts, and developed online educational materials for local governmental employees to expand geospatial skills and achieve professional certification . RGIS Pacific Northwest developed an online participatory GIS tool that provides an innovative forum and access to spatial data sets for shoreline management issues, devised an online geospatial tool that informs stakeholders of rights, uses, and potential resource conflicts in water-limited agricultural basins, and created a web-based map portfolio that allows shoreline managers and the public the ability to access long-term ecological data collected for 38 beaches in Island County. RGIS South Georgia developed a web-based disaster toolset for collecting and sharing spatial data among EMA, provided leadership to regional and rural governments in Georgia through participation in the Georgia association of regional commissions and the statewide Geographic information system coordinating committee, and developed a pilot project and methodology to correlate river gauging stations to actual river shorelines. RGIS SIPI Tribal Technical Center provided outreach to local tribes through educational programs at the Southwest Indian Polytechnic Institute (SIPI), helped maintain and support the Geospatial Technologies lab on the SIPI campus, and assisted other Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) with geospatial curriculum. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Detailed documentation of individual impacts for each of the 8 RGIS sites is not possible here, so much of this discussion will be focused on collective impact. Firstly, RGIS sites collectively leveraged significant funding from other sources to support objectives funded by USDA-NIFA as part of this special project. RGIS sites engaged in educational outreach, training, and technical support that benefited geospatial technology users and local governments throughout the country, including tribal communities. Sites engaged in modeling, website development, online geospatial application development or analyses that provided valuable information and analytical tools for a variety of applications spanning multiple disciplines including land use planning, agriculture, environment, ecology, climatology, emergency management, and economics. Additionally, the scale of applications ranges from single agricultural fields, to counties, states and the nation. In Pennsylvania, a drought vulnerability model assesses land at the field scale whereas the PaGIS Consortium employs data sharing among regional user groups. In Pennsylvania, the PaOneStop project (http://paonestop.org) serves 40,000 farmers without current Ag E&S Plans and over 50,000 manure transfers each year. PaOneStop is a web tool that will serve all of those users. Tribal Technical Center hosted the First Annual Tribal GIS Conference, collaboration with tribes is expanding, and the number of students is increasing. During the past year, 11 SIPI interns were hired by Federal Agencies and Universities and more students are continuing their education beyond 2 years. At Chesapeake Wilkes the "Pollmap" project spatially evaluates public opinion and provides decisionmakers with an understanding of public perception. RGIS-GP's participation helped the Larimore River Watch Team earned the People's Choice Award for their presentation on soil types and sedimentation loading. In Wisconsin county-scale maps and accompanying statistics were developed statewide depicting the amount and location of marginal land in Wisconsin, and its suitability for production of various bioenergy alternatives. Their interactive web-mapping resource has been provided with a permanent institutional home at Energy Center of Wisconsin. In South Georgia, the disaster planning and management toolset is the first system that allows for sharing of data among all EMA officials in Georgia. Pacific Northwest's shoreline resource mapping project provides an innovative forum and access to spatial data sets for informed public input on a wide variety of shoreline management issues in the Puget Sound. In Arkansas, over the past eleven years, outreach and technical support has benefited well over 3,450 private citizens and many federal, state and local governments located roughly within a day's drive of Fayetteville. RGIS-GP has formed a relationship with a local hydrologic and environmental monitoring program called River Watch, a basin-wide citizen water quality monitoring program organized and delivered by the International Water Institute and its partners through high schools and communities.
