Advanced Technology
The ASIST Project is exploring advanced technologies to improve observation systems, integrate predictive models, and accelerate science communication to deliver outcomes faster, more efficiently, and at an appropriate level of detail or accuracy to support management decisions.
The Colorado River Basin Actionable and Strategic Integrated Science and Technology (ASIST) project aims to develop a transformative approach to support interdisciplinary science integration and collaboration related to long-term drought conditions in the Colorado River Basin. The ASIST project is developing a new, comprehensive framework to deliver science across the basin to inform decision makers’ strategies for long-term drought management and adaptation measures needed to address complex challenges and resource management.
More than 840 publications, 575 data releases, and 330 project web pages from the USGS pertain to the Colorado River Basin. Limited interconnections between Colorado River Basin publications, data, and web pages restrict the ability to synthesize and interpret scientific resources. Currently, these pieces are spread across multiple, isolated locations, internal systems, data repositories, and local offices. The increasing size, complexity and diversity of Colorado River Basin data creates additional need for integration. These different data types—including discrete, continuous, aerial, remote sensing, geophysical, geospatial, and other types in varied formats—are collected over numerous time and space scales and require data-intensive science and technology to integrate.
Information management technology resources are enterprise capabilities that the USGS workforce can leverage at multiple scales with consistent interoperable solutions to better facilitate integrated science. Advanced information management and technology solutions can be used to deliver actionable science efficiently and effectively. The ASIST Project is exploring advanced technologies to improve observation systems, integrate predictive models, and accelerate science communication to deliver outcomes faster, more efficiently, and at an appropriate level of detail or accuracy to support management decisions. A multi-year approach is underway to evaluate and leverage these resources to support integrated science projects and expedite the production of interdisciplinary science for the Colorado River Basin.
