Introduction to the Environmental Methods Index (NEMI)


Dan Sullivan has been a Hydrologist with the USGS since 1985, working in
surface
water, water quality, and ecological studies. He has been the co-chair
of the Methods and
Data Comparability Board since 2009; prior to that time he was involved
with the Board
as the lead on the NEMI project. He is also the water-quality specialist
for the Wisconsin
Water Science Center.


Every year, U.S. federal and state government agencies, industrial
entities, academic
researchers, and private organizations expend enormous amounts of time
and money to
monitor, protect, and restore water resources and watersheds. The
selection of appropriate
analytical methods is a critical part of planning for monitoring
projects and can be a
complex project in itself.


First launched in 2002, the National Environmental Methods Index (NEMI)
is an online
database of method summaries that includes basic information to compare
one method
with another for the purpose of method selection. NEMI has been updated
over the years
and recent projects include the addition of a web portal to include
sensors information
from NOAA's Alliance for Coastal Technologies database.
