| Abstract |
The Invasive Species Forecasting System (ISFS) is a Web-based information management and modeling environment tailored to the needs of the invasive species community. When fully implemented, it will provide a way of managing the data and modeling activities that underpin invasive species research, management, and policy decision-making. The ISFS provides a framework for using predictive geospatial models to process NASA and commercial remote sensing data, NBII biological data, personal field data, and data from other sources to create on-demand, local- and regional-scale maps of invasive species patterns and vulnerable habitats. |
