About SW ReGAP

This project establishes the development of a second generation GAP Analysis database for Utah and the coordination of efforts between the 5 Southwestern states of Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. The Remote Sensing and GIS Laboratories at Utah State University in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), will act as the coordinating entity to provide spatial information to the 5-State participants in a seamless manner. USU and USGS will work in concert with the Southwest Gap participants to establish protocols for database construction, vegetation classification, data transfer, field data collection, and land cover model generation.
