  • Abstract
    Presents a collection of slides covering the following topics: This application would not be possible without MRLI, and VOI cannot be estimated without an application; An estimate of VOI for MRLI and the Landsat Data Continuity Mission is $38.1B ± $8.8B for northeastern Iowa; VOI estimate could be lower with additional constraints, land use policies, and management practices; VOI estimate could be higher with larger regions or different applications; By soft-coupling complex geospatial, agricultural production, hydrogeologic and groundwater vulnerability models, our results give regional decision makers natural resource management tools to use in context of protecting public health.
