SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Federal Climate Research Network Regional Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:Title: Federal Climate Research Network Regional Boundaries: Not Where\, but Why? \nPresenter(s):  Zachary Paganini\, CESSRST II \nDate : Friday\, February 23 · 1:00 – 1:30 pm EST \nGoogle Meet joining info \nVideo call link: https://meet.google.com/oxm-yhpz-doh  \nOr dial: ‪(US) +1 321-209-6385‬ PIN: ‪772 993 275‬# \nMore phone numbers: https://tel.meet/oxm-yhpz-doh?pin=4150785920930 \nLearn about Speaker:  Zachary Paganini\,  \nAbstract:  \nThe project responds to inquiries from U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP)stakeholders and funders for an explanation of the origins of\, functions of\, and reasons for differences in the regional boundaries of different federal climate research networks. This research explores six federal climate research networks through mapping analysis\, document and literature review\, and interviews with program managers and directors at federal climate research networks to explain why these differences exist and what functions they serve. The research revealed that while federal climate research networks share a common goal of delivering accurate and actionable climate data to stakeholders across multiple scales\, differences in where networks draw their capacity from and what specific sectors networks focus on delivering information to not only explain but necessitate differences in federal climate research networks’ regional boundaries.

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Detection of seal pups and polar bears in multispectral imagery
DESCRIPTION:Title:  Detection of seal pups and polar bears in multispectral imagery \nPresenter(s): Juanita Jimenez\, \nDate: Friday\, February 23 · 1:35 – 2:05 pm EST \nGoogle Meet joining info \nVideo call link: https://meet.google.com/ejj-kthh-sje  \nOr dial: ‪(US) +1 914-893-5689‬ PIN: ‪679 479 638‬# \nMore phone numbers: https://tel.meet/ejj-kthh-sje?pin=5439818462517 \nAbout Speaker:  Juanita Jimenez \nAbstract: The Polar Ecosystems Program at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center’s Marine Mammal Laboratory is responsible for estimating the abundance and distribution of ice-associated seals of Alaska. They conducted large-scale fixed-wing surveys of the sea ice in the Bering\, Chukchi\, and Beaufort seas in a collaborative effort with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to include polar bears in this effort\, and international researchers to accurately assess transboundary population estimates. These surveys result in the collection of hundreds of thousands of aerial images of the sea ice from airborne color (RGB)\, thermal infrared (IR)\, and ultraviolet (UV) cameras. Machine learning models can be used to identify ringed seals\, bearded seals\, and polar bears in the imagery. The objective of this NOAA Experiential Research and Training Opportunity\, NERTO was to utilize the annotated UV\, IR\, and color imagery to develop a detection model to find polar bears and white coat seal pups in multispectral imagery. During the summer\, we started the development of a processing workflow\, first using ENVI and then with MATLAB to process these images. The approach being pursued looks at building a five band multispectral data cube by first registering the images and stacking them into a three-dimensional array. Once the images are aligned\, animal signatures can be used to detect the presence of mammals in the scene. The goal of the NERTO\, was to identify the workflow that NOAA needs to extract spectral signatures using the UV\, IR\, and color images. The final goal is to build a model to find the animals in the sea ice by processing these cubes. Follow up work will be pursued as part of my master’s project at UTEP.
