GFSAD 30 WEBSITE UPDATE WITH INPUTS FROM: PRASAD THENKABAIL, CRISTINA MILESI, JEFF PETERS, JEANNE JONES JANUARY 17, 2014

Temporary Website

Planning for Official Website  Website building will start in year 2  Hosting and design will be provided by personnel at USGS Menlo Park  Working with Jeff Peters and Jeanne Jones, web development leads at USGS in Menlo Park  Coordination with LPDAAC (Dave Mayer and Stacie Bennett) for hosting final project results

Next Steps  Decide on amount of data that needs to be distributed: 1. Cropland extent (multiply by 4 decades) 2. Irrigated vs Rainfed 3. Cropping intensity 4. Crop type for 8 crops (one layer or 8 layers) Constraints on hosting storage need to be resolved - Where is the preliminary data for distribution going to sit?

Next Steps (cont.)  Decide on functionality  Web server with layering and zooming functionality  Data download: by continent, country, path row, MODIS tile, user defined rectangle?  User interaction to collect feedback and improvements (crowdsourcing functionality)

Example Websites for Global Landsat

 m/science-2013-global-forest Global Forest Change (Matt Hansen (UMD)/Google)

Global Land Cover from Peng Gong

 Examples of websites distributing global data at 30m:  Global Forest Change (Matt Hansen (UMD)/Google) e-2013-global-forest  Global Land cover from China (Peng Gong)  Global Land cover from USGS (Giri)?

Crowdsourcing validation:  Geo-Wiki
