SEFS Professor L. Monika Moskal and researcher Meghan Halabisky were among 15 multidisciplinary teams awarded funding through the National Science Foundation (NSF) Convergence Accelerator program. Their project, Mapping the Nation’s Wetlands for Equitable Water Quality, Monitoring, Conservation, and Policy Development, is part of an NSF effort to develop innovative technologies and solutions to improve U.S. freshwater systems totaling $9.8M of funding. The project, led by Moskal, will integrate advances in wetland science, computing, remote sensing, and geospatial tool development to predict where wetlands are and the services they provide, and accelerate the development of a national-scale wetlands decision support tool for the United States.
Professor Moskal was also awarded the 2023 Estes Memorial Teaching at Geo Week 2024, highlighting achievements in lidar, geospatial, and photogrammetry work.
