Project Name: "Advanced Web Delivery of Rangelands and Natural Resources Information" Web Site: http://rangelandswest.org/ Lead Institution: University of Arizona Collaborating Institutions: Project Director: Carla Long Casler Co-PIs: Barbara Hutchinson, Marianne Stowell Bracke, Robert MacArthur, Sheila Merrigan, Jeanne Pfander, George Ruyle Abstract: Thirteen Western land-grant universities will develop an advanced technical foundation for improved delivery of rangelands and natural resources information and programming via the web. The program targets small-scale landholders, agency and other private land managers, researchers, and students. The University of Arizona will develop and maintain a metadata database which accommodates data entry from western partners and interfaces with the main AgNIC gateway database. Partner institutions will identify and develop rangelands and natural resources information and programming which will be made available through the regional rangelands website and AgNIC database, and developed into established extension programming. The final web product will be demonstrated at Cooperative Extension and library meetings throughout the Western U.S. 2. Project Name: | |
