THE GOAL OF THE PROPOSED APPLICATIONS RESEARCH IS TO ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE OF DATA INTEGRATION WITH NASA EARTH OBSERVATIONS CLIMATE DATA FIELD-COLLECTED BIODIVERSITY DATA AND ECOLOGICAL MODELS TO HELP NATIONS REPORT IN AN ACCURATE AND TIMELY WAY ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 15 ( LIFE ON LAND. ) SPECIFICALLY WE SEEK TO DEVELOP TEST AND DEMONSTRATE TO GOVERNMENTS A NEAR-REAL TIME INTEGRATED MAPPING AND REPORTING SYSTEM THAT PRODUCES REGIONAL RESULTS ABOUT SITES IMPORTANT FOR BIODIVERSITY AS DESCRIBED IN SDG INDICATOR 15.1.2. BY NEAR-REAL-TIME WE MEAN REPEATING ANALYSES AS OFTEN THE UNDERLYING SATELLITE OR FIELD DATA CHANGE. OUR PROPOSAL FOCUSES ON TIGERS (PANTHERA TIGRIS) AS AN EXAMPLE IMPLEMENTING WELL-ESTABLISHED MODELS ON A CLOUD-BASED GEOSPATIAL COMPUTING PLATFORM (E.G. GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE) AND SERVING DATA BY WEB PORTAL. WE PROPOSE TO COMPUTE INTEGRATIVE MODELS OF TIGER CONSERVATION LANDSCAPES (TCLS; DINERSTEIN ET AL. 2007 SANDERSON ET AL. 2006) AND SOURCE SITES (SSS; WALSTON ET AL. 2010) IN TIME SERIES AND ANALYZE THESE CRITICAL SITES IN RELATION TO PROTECTED AREAS AND ECOSYSTEMS ON A COUNTRY-BY-COUNTRY BASIS LOOKING BACK TO THE YEAR 2000 AND FORWARD THROUGH AT LEAST 2030. WE WILL ALSO COMPUTE NEW 1 KM2 RESOLUTION HUMAN FOOTPRINT MAPS (SENSU SANDERSON ET AL. 2002; SEE VENTER ET AL. 2016) ON AN ANNUAL BASIS GLOBALLY. WHAT TIGERS NEED IS ANALOGOUS TO WHAT MANY WILDLIFE SPECIES NEED: INTACT PATCHES OF ECOSYSTEMS WITH SUITABLE STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ECOSYSTEMS SOME OF WHICH ARE REMOTELY SENSIBLE; FREEDOM FROM TOO MUCH HUMAN INFLUENCE AS MEASURED BY THE HUMAN FOOTPRINT; AND INTERCONNECTED BLOCKS OF UNDIMINISHED HABITAT LARGE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A POPULATION. CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ALL THESE FACTORS AND NEW SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS SUCH AS THE FIRE INFORMATION FOR RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FIRMS) AND ANNUALIZED LAND COVER PRODUCTS FROM MODIS ALLOW US TO DETECT SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN LANDSCAPE CHARACTERISTICS. STRUCTURED IF ASYNCHRONOUS FIELD DATA COLLECTIONS ACROSS 10 COUNTRIES IN ASIA WILL ENABLE US TO CALIBRATE MODELS GENERATE UP-TO-DATE FINDINGS AND VALIDATE THE RESULTS. COUNTRIES NEED TIME-SERIES NOT SNAPSHOTS TO SHOW CHANGE AND RESPOND EFFECTIVELY TO THEIR INTERNATIONAL COMMITMENTS AND NATIONAL GOALS. HERE THEY WILL RECEIVE THEM WHENEVER OBSERVATIONS CHANGE THROUGH THEIR INTERNET BROWSER AS BOTH TOP-LEVEL INDICATORS (E.G. AREA OF TCLS AND SSS PROTECTED) AND AS DOWNLOADABLE GEOSPATIAL LAYERS WITH 1 KM2 MINIMUM MAP UNITS. ALTHOUGH TIGERS ARE ONLY ONE OF THE MILLIONS OF SPECIES THAT LIVE IN SOUTHERN AND EASTERN ASIA THIS TYPE B APPLICATIONS PROPOSAL WILL PROVIDE A HIGH-PROFILE WORKING EXAMPLE OF SCIENTIFIC FUSION OF NASA SATELLITE DATA COLLECTIONS WITH THE EFFORTS OF GOVERNMENTS AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS TO OBSERVE DOCUMENT AND CONSERVE ENDANGERED SPECIES OF MANY KINDS AS THE CLIMATE CHANGES.
