Habitat Assessment Models and Decision Support Tools for Aquatic Habitats: Fritz Boettner of Downstream Strategies presents on the North Atlantic LCC funded project to develop a decision support tool for an aquatic assessment of the Northeast. The presentation focuses on the development of a modeling methodology, process and outputs that came out of the modeling, and how stakeholders are needed for the project to be a success and develop quality assessment outputs.

Steering Committee Call for March 6, 2014: This meeting of the AppLCC Steering Committee provided a “Year-in-Review” update briefing and began discussions on the major tasks and objectives to work on in the ensuing year.

Cave and Karst Mapping and Classification Update: This presentation from Professor David Culver of American University provides an update to the Steering Committee on the Appalachian LCC funded research project that is assembling and identifying key location and classification data while developing products that depict and map cave and karst habitats and biological resources across the Appalachian LCC. Developing a consistent classification system and mapping for cave and karst habitats is a foundational need for these highly unique habitats.This project will develop cave and karst data and a georeferenced suite of products that are consistent in methodology to support larger-scale planning efforts, yet usable at scales that will support local resource decision-makers.

Aquatic Ecological Flows Project Update: This presentation from Dr. Todd Walter of Cornell University provides an update to the Steering Committee on the Appalachian LCC funded research project. The Aquatic Ecological Flows project is providing a report assessing availability of hydrologic and ecological flow model(s) suitable for the region, a georeference assessment of available ecological data to inform the ecological flow model(s), the application of the model(s) to anticipate how altered flow regimes will affect critical conditions, and a report that forecasts changes in hydrology and associated predicted biological responses in relation to different water resource development scenarios for critical watersheds.

NJ Landscape Project Training and Information Session: The Landscape Project is an interactive ecosystem-based mapping tool that assists government agencies, planners, conservation groups, the public and others in making decisions that will protect imperiled and special concern wildlife.

NJ Landscape Project Training and Information Sessions: Designed to guide strategic wildlife habitat conservation, the Landscape Project is an interactive ecosystem-based mapping tool that assists government agencies, planners, conservation groups, the public and others in making decisions that will protect imperiled and special concern wildlife.

Watershed Decision Tool Webinar Series (UPDATE): The USFWS Southeast Region Office is sponsoring a webinar series on Watershed Decision Tools with the aim of promoting awareness of the many various watershed prioritization tools available to assist in planning conservation actions and fostering discussion about how each tool is or could be used, applicability and limitations, and possible future improvements and needs. We currently have 4 remaining webinars scheduled and hope to add more. We have switched to a new webex platform to enable recording and archiving of webinar presentations, so login details for the series has changed.

Boundaries & Priority Area Shapefiles: Folder with Project Boundaries and Priority Area Shapefiles Across the NOBO Partnership

AppLCC LCD Phase II Aquatic Expert Consultations: The Appalachian LCC consultations with aquatic experts on our Landscape Conservation Design moves next week to the second discussion about aquatic metrics, models and data.

Webinar: Tangible Landscape as a tool for modeling and science communication: In this webinar the Conservation Biology Institute introduce Tangible Landscape, a technology that links an interactive physical model with GRASS GIS through a real-time cycle of interaction, 3D scanning, geospatial computation, and 3D rendering.

Webinar: Navigating the Data Basin Platform: A Guided Tour: An introductory tour to demonstrate multiple ways to explore and create content in Data Basin.

Appalachian LCC Research Update: Phase II of Landscape Conservation Design: Dr. Paul Leonard of Clemson University will provide a research update to the Appalachian LCC Steering Committee and interested partners on the results from Phase II of our Landscape Conservation Design.

Southeast Aquatic Resources Conservation Science and Practice Webinar Series: Sound sheds light: How side scan sonar helps advance the aquatic conservation mission

The Southeast Aquatic Conservation Strategy: The Southeastern Aquatic Biodiversity Conservation Strategy is a joint project of the UGA River Basin Center and the Tennessee Aquarium Conservation Institute to prioritize watersheds within the region to support future conservation investments.

Putting aquatic species on the map: The eDNAtlas and Archive for aquatic taxa in Western North America: The ease, efficiency, and sensitivity of environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling of species in aquatic environments is leading to an explosion in its use across North America.
