Project Final Report-DE-NT0006554-One of the greatest challenges to advancing scientific discovery and industrial development is to efficiently collect and share data with the scientific community and general public. The development of a water resource geospatial database will create a repository for large volumes of water resource and oil shale data. This database will allow for collaborative regional basin assessments for future oil shale development. This type of collaboration provides the ideal atmosphere for the development of new, generically useful approaches for the use of technology and procedures that promote the best and most widespread use of our vast data holdings despite their disparate locations and heterogeneous formats. The database will enhance and standardize existing oil shale data by developing tools and graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to integrate previously dispersed and diverse datasets. The results of this research will provide a powerful tool to facilitate communication among industry, state, and federal regulators, and other stakeholders.
