Removal of Two Dams in the Wetmore Run Watershed, Potter County, PA by admin, last updated: Jul 24, 2019 03:35 PM: This project will remove the only two dams in the Wetmore Run Watershed in Potter County, Pennsylvania opening 8.5 miles of habitat for brook trout. Removal of the dams will also eliminate thermal pollution and restore lotic ecosystem function. (Photo: Looking upstream at the dam on Wetmore Run. No water is going over the spillway.)

Appalachian Energy Forecast Model by Web Editor, last updated: Jul 22, 2019 06:34 PM: This web-based map tool of the energy assessment combines multiple layers of data on energy development trends and important natural resource and ecosystem services, to give a more comprehensive picture of what potential energy development could look like in the Appalachians. The tool shows where energy development is most likely to occur and indicates areas where such development may intersect with other significant values like intact forests, important streams, and vital ecological services such as drinking water supplies

Energy Forecast Mapping Tool Tutorial by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jul 22, 2019 06:31 PM: This video presentation by Judy Dunscomb, Senior Conservation Scientist at The Nature Conservancy, provides a detailed overview of how to use the Energy Forecast Mapping Tool.

Background Materials: Assessing Future Energy Development Across the Appalachians by Web Editor, last updated: Jul 22, 2019 06:31 PM

Data Access by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jul 22, 2019 06:31 PM: Assessing Future Energy Development study assembled and combined data on various energy development trends such as coal, wind, and shale gas to help in identifying where these may intersect with important natural resource and ecosystem services to give a more comprehensive picture of what potential energy development could look like in the Appalachians.

Awareness and Outreach by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jul 22, 2019 06:31 PM: The information and tools from this research is intended to inform planning decisions that can effectively avoid, minimize, or offset impacts from energy development to important natural areas.

Foundational Research by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jul 22, 2019 06:31 PM: The research and online mapping tool funded by the Appalachian LCC is part of The Nature Conservancy’s Development by Design approach. This approach brings sound science to reflect the big picture of current and future impacts of energy development on nature and natural resources across the Appalachians.

Products and Tools by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jul 22, 2019 06:31 PM: Models of wind, shale gas, and coal development for the entire study area have been created to predict potential future energy development and impacts to natural resources within the Appalachians. Models and data from all development projections populate a web-based mapping tool to help inform regional landscape planning decisions.
