Grand Canyon Water Resources Project

During the Summer 2018 term of the NASA DEVELOP National Program at the Fort Collins, Colorado Node, my team and I developed methods of identifying changes in vegetation and water resources on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon using NASA Earth observing satellites to enable our partners at the National Park Service and the United States Geological Survey to create an informed management strategy of the local bison herd. We made use of Google Earth Engine and ESRI’s ArcMap program to analyze and interpret satellite data.
