<br />with GCMRC Data Standards. Coordination entails evaluation of requests and scheduling of the <br /> <br />appropriate equipment, materials, services and personnel required to implement research <br /> <br />activities. Examples of Technical Support requests include: <br /> <br />. Copies of existing map products and aerial photo sets. <br />. Processing requests to GIS for new map products. <br />. Scheduling Field Equipment (i.e. Computers, handheld GPS units, digital cameras, <br />etc.). <br />. Scheduling personnel required to assist with field work. <br />. Consultation with GIS personnel for recorrunendations on data collection methods to <br />achieve effective integration with the GIS. <br />. Consultation with Data Base personnel for advice on data collection formatting to <br />achieve effective integration with the GCMRC Data Base. <br />. Analog-to-Digital Data conversion of the GCES and GCMRC's archive of historical, <br />analog aerial photography. <br /> <br />Additionally, future dissemination of essential information to researchers related to <br />permitting procedures, trip planning and survey and technical support requests will necessitate <br />utilization of the GCMRC web page. Development ofa Research Coordination and Support <br />Program web page will include infomlation pages and access to on-line forms to submit requests <br />for schecJuling river trips, and survey and technical support. Thc web pages will be developed in <br />ongoing coordination and cooperation between the GCMRC staff and the SBSC's Information <br />Technology Director and staff. <br /> <br />Survev Operations - The long term monitoring objectives of GCMRC require positions <br />and elevations for past, present, and future spatial datasets. The GCMRC Survey Department's <br />mission is to provide survey support for I) collection of these spatial measurements and, <br />2) referencing the spatial data collected in the Colorado River ecosystem to the primary control <br />network. The survey department is also responsible for establishing and maintaining the geodetic <br />control network in Grand Canyon. The geodetic control network serves as the foundation for all <br />spatial measurements necessary for long term monitoring. This control network also serves as the <br />spatial framework for the Geographic Infomlation System (GIS). The referencing of spatial data <br />must be consistent in order to perform accurate change detection. All measurements collected for <br />studies approved by the Adaptive Management Program are archived for quality assurance, <br />quality control, network adjustment, and database integration. <br />The survey department provides network control point coordinates and error estimates, <br />QA/QC for remote sensing, topographic and hydrographic maps, and the additional manpower <br /> <br />GCMRC FY2006 Annual Work Plan (Draft, June 10, 2005) <br /> <br />17 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />; <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
