Central Valley Waterbirds Bioenergetic and Conservation Planning Datasets

General Information
DMP Section Type: 
Data Output - Product or Deliverable
Deliverable Type: 
Datasets / Database
Delivery Date: 
2015-10
Release Date: 
2017-10
Description: 
Metrics used to evaluate scenario impacts and success of proposed conservation actions were provided in datasets for specific Central Valley basins. Metrics included the amount of projected available habitat area (and loss of area) across years, and resulting impacts of habitat reduction on goal waterbird populations. Metrics evaluating success of proposed habitat conservation actions primarily focused on adequacy of food supplies to support wintering waterfowl at CVJV-goal population levels. Metrics were provided for each scenario evaluated in WEAP-CVwh.
Format: 
MS Excel spreadsheets and spreadsheet objects, common image formats
Processing & Workflow: 
Output from waterbird bioenergetics models (TRUEMET, SWAMP) were processed and provided final assessment relating to proposed conservation actions.
Backup & Storage: 
Server, Desktop HD, USB drive
Volume Estimate: 
Up to Several 100s of GB
Access & Sharing: 
Prior to completion of the project and the input/output data has been reviewed/revised and published, no access shall be provided.
Exclusive Use Embargo: 
Request for exclusive use for 1- 2 years. Additional time is needed to expand spatial extent of model beyond the extent projected based on the current funding obligation and to fully implement model integration with agent-based bioenergetics model (SWAMP) across the Central Valley. Also, publishing research manuscripts following project completion date is expected.
Restrictions: 
Access to the input and output data will be restricted until full review/revision and use of the data for publications has been satisfied.

Preservation Needs: 
Data should be preserved for 5 years, assuming that data won't actually be available until 1-2 years after completion of the project (per Exclusive Use Embargo).
