Park Analysis and Monitoring Support (PALMS)
Hansen AJ, Gross JE, Goetz SJ, Theobald DT, melton FS, Nemani RR. Park Analysis and Monitoring Support (PALMS). 2006-2011
PALMS is a joint project amoung the NPS, Montana State University, Woods Hole Research Institute, Colorado State University, and NASA Ames Research Center. The project was launched by a grant from the NASA Applied Sciences Program and support from the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program. This project includes products and related and supporting publications. The project is now largely completed, and project collaborators are finishing up documents, data sets, methods, and are in the process of cataloging and posting materials on NPS servers for long-term storage and access. This project provides the easiest access to PALMS products. As products are finalized, they will be uploaded and be permanently available via the NPS NRInfo portal.
