PNAMP’s Monitoring Site Manager 2 Rebecca Scully, USGS/PNAMP May 12, 2016

Can anyone afford to independently collect, manage, analyze, and archive all the information they need? 3 Not likely. But if goal is to gather enough scientifically sound information to adequately assess results & make decisions about future work, how do they get the information?

Monitoring Site Manager – Browse Master Samples Master Sample The full list of sites that would be sampled with a complete Census used to generate a Random Sample of sites for a Probability Sample. These sites can be used for comparable, complementary monitoring among separate monitoring organizations and across geographic scales. A Master Sample retains the principles of Randomization and Spatial Balance. For further reading: Larsen, D.P., A.R. Olsen, and D.L.

Monitoring Site Manager – Browse User Sample Files User Sample Files User sample files are files containing sites that are not drawn from one of the supported master samples, but instead selected in a non-probabilistic manner for convenience, as part of an experimental design, or simply because historical monitoring data exists in locations that you wish to carry forward into future designs.master samples
