The process requires prior <br>> knowledge of USGS dataset parameters, spatial reference systems, <br>> coordinate reprojection, computational regions, and the appropriate <br>> GRASS GIS tools and methods.<br>> <br>> *Added value:*<br>> r.in.usgs provides a GRASS GIS GUI that suggests appropriate default <br>> parameters, as well as provides advanced options for downloading <br>> available USGS datasets. The module assembles user-input information <br>> with the required GRASS GIS parameters and tools to automatically <br>> download, import, reproject, and patch complex USGS raster data in a <br>> single process.<br>> <br>> *Continued Work:*<br>> r.in.usgs currently handles all three products from the USGS National <br>> Elevation Dataset (NED) as well as all three products from the National <br>> Land Cover Dataset (NLCD). Several other USGS datasets are made <br>> available for download but each requires custom formatting and further <br>> modifications to the r.in.usgs script processes.<br>> <br>> Further development of the module should include continued incorporation <br>> of USGS datasets, as well as creating accessible tools for sources of <br>> international data. Ultimately, creating a module that allows GRASS GIS <br>> users to contribute to a centralized, automated repository of properly <br>> formatted publicly available datasets would provide a huge service to <br>> the open source GIS community.<br>> <br>> r.in.usgs will be moved into the official GRASS GIS add-ons repository <br>> in the coming week.<br>> <br>> *Links and Documentation:*<br>> OSGeo project wiki:<br>> <a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GSoC/2017/GRASSGISLocationsfromPublicData">https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GSoC/2017/GRASSGISLocationsfromPublicData</a><br>> <br>> Git repository:<br>> <a href="https://github.com/zkwurst/GSoC2017-GRASS-GIS">https://github.com/zkwurst/GSoC2017-GRASS-GIS</a><br>> <br>> Raw code:<br>> <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zkwurst/GSoC2017-GRASS-GIS/master/r.in.usgs/r.in.usgs.py">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zkwurst/GSoC2017-GRASS-GIS/master/r.in.usgs/r.in.usgs.py</a><br>> <br>> Raw html documentation:<br>> <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zkwurst/GSoC2017-GRASS-GIS/master/r.in.usgs/r.in.usgs.html">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zkwurst/GSoC2017-GRASS-GIS/master/r.in.usgs/r.in.usgs.html</a><br>> <br>> Google Docs version of html documentation:<br>> <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jarl2X05A020_dv8YAcXjdPAONHrWpGnWigHWyzb3ys/edit#heading=h.gu5m0ou06qhs">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jarl2X05A020_dv8YAcXjdPAONHrWpGnWigHWyzb3ys/edit#heading=h.gu5m0ou06qhs</a><br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Zechariah F.
