STARMAP investigates statistical problems encountered in
the use of data resulting from aquatic monitoring of the sort advocated
by EPA's Environmental Monitoring and Assessmant Program (EMAP). Find out about that
Program at this site.
STARMAP personnel have developed GIS tools relevant
to the statistical analysis of aquatic systems. These tools
support the automatic delineation of drainage basins above any
point in a stream network. {Link
to FLoWS tools} These tools also cna check for functioonal
connectivity of networks. {Link
to FunConn tools}. Another tool supports selection of
spatially balanced probability samples. {Link
to RRQRR}
STARMAP was developed in response to a Request for
Applications (RFA) announced by EPA's Science to Achieve Results
(STAR) Program October 1, 2000. That RFA is temporarily
unavailable the EPA archive site, so a copy
is temporarily available here.
EPA's STAR Program supports several companion
research and development efforts in statistics and indicator
development. Find out about them at the sites accessible below
