The project took place at the Water Center for the Humid Tropics of Latin America and the Caribbean (CATHALAC) as an internship requirement for "ENVR 451 - Research in Panama," during the Panama Field Study Semester, part of McGill University. Emil Cherrington and Roxana Segundo of CATHALAC supervised the project.

The Mesoamerican Regional Visualization and Monitoring System (SERVIR), which is hosted by CATHALAC and NASA, provided much of the data and support for this project.

The additional geostatistical analyses of the EVCC are results from an independent project that fulfills a requirement - "AEMA 403 - Environmetrics Stage" - of the Environmetrics domain of the McGill School of Environment, supervised by Dr. Pierre Dutilleul.
