Conservation Science and Data Visualization, LLC is seeking proposals from research teams with expertise in remote sensing, ecology, and forest disturbance to support a large-scale mapping initiative. The goal of this project is to produce and interpret high-quality maps of forest disturbance, by type, across ~216 million forested acres in the eastern U.S.. 

We welcome participation from academic groups with experience in forest ecology, remote sensing, GIS, and machine learning. The selected awardee will join a team of contractors and academic researchers to develop remote sensing-based maps using high-quality training data from expert-delineated aerial photo-interpretation maps. This work will inform region-specific guidance for sustainable forest management practices on public and private lands.
