Pacific Northwest Information Node Status Report Robert Norheim USGS FRESC Cascadia Field Station University of Washington College of Forest Resources Seattle

Topics Vision and focus Organizations involved Examples of data, publications, and tools Accomplishments Current activities Challenges Opportunities

Vision The NBII Pacific Northwest Information Node (PNWIN) will be the comprehensive source for all aspects of scientifically-based management of natural resources in the Pacific Northwest

Focus this year  Forestry Issues in Pacific Northwest – Data – Publications – Tools – Information exchange – Communication – Decision support

Lead Organization & PI USGS Cascadia Field Station – USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center (Corvallis, Oregon) – University of Washington College of Forest Resources (Seattle) David L. Peterson, PI

Key Node Partners USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center (FRESC) University of Washington – College of Forest Resources – Department of Geography – University Libraries – Olympic Natural Resources Center Northwest Alliance for Computational Science and Engineering (NACSE) – They “do” bio-informatics

Node Contributors Olympic National Park FRESC Olympic Field Station USDA Forest Service PNW Research Station Bureau of Land Management Interagency Regional Ecosystem Office Oregon State University University of Washington University of British Columbia

Data Cryptogams Database Density Management Studies Ecophysiological parameters of western conifers Mountain Hemlock/Sub alpine Fir study 1936 Forest Service Forest Inventory maps of Oregon and Washington Northwest Forest Plan – Land Allocations – Old Growth Reserves

Cryptogam database

1936 Forest Type map

Publications Forest Ecosystem Management Assessment Team (FEMAT) report Northwest Forest Plan – Final Supplemental EIS – Record of Decision – Implementing documents – Status reports

Tools Landscape Management System (LMS) Ecosystem Management Decision Support (EMDS) Washington State Department of Natural Resources Desired Future Conditions (DFC) EnVision – Environmental Visualization

Accomplishments Attained significant commitments from partners and contributors Acquired initial data, publications, management information, and user tools Established electronic infrastructure Launched PNWIN website at

Web Page Screen Shot

Current Activities Identifying other potential datasets, partners, and contributors Meeting with new partners and contributors Enabling databases for web display and searching Converting paper documents to PDF Participating in Node working groups

Challenges USGS Contracting Office Uncertain funding makes longer term commitments difficult Communication Website design – Thematically based? Geographically based? Topic based? What are other nodes doing? Ecoterrorists

CUH Fire Photos

Opportunities IUFRO Global Forestry Information Service Overlap with other nodes (California) or projects (Land Use History of North America) Technology sharing – Mercury – ArcIMS – Oracle Expand to other regional issues
