This project will link ecosystem science and organismal biology with data science, including artificial intelligence (AI), to assess ecosystem services provided by Guam’s coral reefs. A central goal of the project is to develop ecosystem models of Guam’s natural resources and provide an assessment of existing species to facilitate their management. Additionally, the project will support development of economic opportunities identified in Guam’s science and technology plan that rely on the jurisdiction’s natural resources. Integration of natural resource assessments with advanced data analytics will rely on and expand training opportunities for students in computer and data science programs at the University of Guam (UOG) and Guam Community College (GCC). Project outcomes will contribute to the development of a workforce capable of engaging with emerging economic opportunities in the information technology and cybersecurity in the jurisdiction and across the nation. UOG, the only four-year institution in Guam, will lead the project, partnering with GCC, the sole community college in the jurisdiction. This project will develop and use advanced surveying methods, such as structure-for-motion, to characterize Guam’s reefs, developing methods for rapid and repeatable assessments of these natural resources that provision coastal protection. Growth of corals and calcifying macroalgae will be measured using 3D imaging to assess reef accretion in Guam. Development of biological spe
