GFSAD 30 WEBSITE UPDATEWITH INPUTS FROM:PRASAD THENKABAIL, CRISTINA MILESI, JEFF PETERS, JEANNE JONES

JANUARY 17, 2014

Temporary Websitehttps://powellcenter.usgs.gov/globalcroplandwater/

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 Rainfed3. Cropping intensity4. 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)
