MRRMaid toolbox

The MRRMaid toolbox is constantly evolving and improving over time, and currently consists of four web applications powered by Google Earth Engine. Access the MRRMaid Monthly and MRRMaid MVPRestore apps, user guides, video tutorials and associated publications on this page.

The web apps in this toolbox have been designed so that a user can zoom in and out of specific areas, draw polygons for their area of interest and then show maps and plots of mesic ecosystem change over time.

MRRMaid Monthly

MRRMaid Monthly App: Monthly maps and time-series of mesic vegetation and surface water during the growing season.

Kolarik, N., Shrestha, N., Iskin, E., and Brandt, J. (2023). Decision Support Tool – GEE Web App for Monthly MRRMaid.

 MRRMaid Carbon – annual biomass maps for riparian zones

Our models of canopy height, vegetation class and spatial biomass enable time series monitoring of change within mesic ecosystems. Paper in prep.

Nati-Johnson, E., Graves, R., Kolarik, N., Caughlin, T., and Brandt, J. (2026).

MRRMaid MVPRestore

MRRMaid MVPRestore App: Maps of mesic vegetation persistence (MVP) and dense seasonal and inter-annual time-series of mesic vegetation designed specifically for river restoration practitioners.

Rojas Lucero, J.C., Iskin, E., Shrestha, N., Kolarik, N. and Brandt, J. (2024). Decision Support Tool – GEE Web App for MVPRestore.
