This project involves using cloud computing services such as virtual machines to conduct data processing, analysis, and visualization of large data sets that are publicly available from the USDA Forest Service, FIA program. Such outputs include the summarization of forest types, figures made on demand from simulation outputs and database queries for communication to better service stakeholders and the public while reaching department strategic goals and prioritizes like the NJ State Forest Action Plan. The project will require the use of cloud services by four NJ Forest Service personnel, including myself. Services to be used include temporary storage to load large data sets into models, elastic computing to provide virtual machines configured to conduct machine learning and simulation modeling, and potentially ready-made interfaces designed specifically for machine learning.
