Advancement of Geospatial Capability by NRiSD and GLAHF in Enhancing Aquatic Ecosystem Research and Management

Identifying, measuring, and understanding how landscape factors influence the characteristics of aquatic systems has increasingly become a central theme of research and management of rivers and lakes. Although linkages among landscapes and associated physicochemical and biological characteristics of aquatic systems have long been recognized, the development of conceptual frameworks and tools for measuring and synthesizing such linkages is relatively recent. This article summarizes the major advancements of these spatial frameworks and datasets by NRiDS and GLAHF, illustrates their uses in improving aquatic system research and management, and identifies improvements for future work.
