Assessing Future Energy Development Across the Appalachians Research Update by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Dec 19, 2014 11:16 AM: This presentation from Judy Dunscomb of The Nature Conservancy provides an update to the Steering Committee on this Appalachian LCC funded research project. Assessing Future Impacts of Energy Extraction project is creating models of wind, shale gas, and coal development potential for the entire range of the Appalachian to predict potential future energy development and impacts to natural resources within the Appalachians. Models results and a web-based map server will help inform regional landscape planning decisions that can effectively avoid, mitigate, or offset impacts from energy development to important natural areas and the valuable services they provide.
