The Environmental Monitoring and Assessment
Program (EMAP) is a research program to develop the tools necessary
to monitor and assess the status and trends of national ecological
resources. EMAP's goal is to develop the scientific understanding
for translating environmental monitoring data from multiple spatial
and temporal scales into assessments of current ecological condition
and forecasts of future risks to our natural resources.
EMAP aims to advance the science of ecological monitoring and ecological
risk assessment, guide national monitoring with improved scientific
understanding of ecosystem integrity and dynamics, and demonstrate
multi-agency monitoring through large regional projects. EMAP develops
indicators to monitor the condition of ecological resources. EMAP
also investigates designs that address the acquisition, aggregation,
and analysis of multiscale and multitier data.
