Colorado River Basin Actionable and Strategic Integrated Science and Technology (ASIST) Pilot Project Progress Toward an Information Management and Technology Plan

by Eric D. Anderson, Jennifer R. Erxleben, Sharon L. Qi

About this book

Integrating scientific information across a large river basin requires shared data practices, useful technical infrastructure and coordination among research teams. This report records the Colorado River Basin ASIST pilot project’s progress toward an information-management and technology plan, drawing on activities and lessons from fiscal year 2021.

The authors examine how scientific questions connect with information systems, advanced computing and data management. An executive summary introduces the work; subsequent sections describe activity highlights, lessons learned and an action plan for building the necessary capabilities over several years. Diagrams and tables organize the project’s components, scientific use cases and proposed approach. An appendix identifies advanced information-management resources. First published in 2023, the complete report preserves the original Grand Canyon cover photograph, technical illustrations and references.
