Responsibilities
Research towards developing iterative forecasts for the spread of a viral arthropod-borne livestock disease from Mexico into the United States
Identify and integrate multiple data streams into the model framework, including host and vector distributions, confirmed georeferenced reports of VS cases in the United States and Mexico, and publicly available environmental layers derived from satellites, observational networks, and reanalysis products
Collaboratively produce forecasts of VS disease emergence and spread meant to be updated iteratively over the outbreak season, with explicit quantification of forecast uncertainty
Contribute open and reproducible high-performance computational workflows to the ARS SCINet and AI Center of Excellence communities
