Project Environmental Flows from Water Withdrawals in the Marcellus Shale Region
by Matthew Cimitile — published Nov 28, 2012 — last modified Jul 13, 2016 11:04 AM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
The Appalachian LCC collaborated with Cornell University to study the environmental impacts of water withdrawals in the Central Appalachian region. The rivers and streams of the Central Appalachians are home to more than 200 species of fish and other aquatic life. They also provide a reliable source of drinking water, recreational opportunities and associated economic benefits to people living in large cities and surrounding communities. This research looks at how the region’s surface freshwater supply – and the health of natural systems delivering this resource – have been impacted and may be altered in the coming years under increasing water withdrawals. It focuses on the Marcellus Shale region in the Central Appalachians, including portions of NY, PA, OH, MD, WV and VA.

Project chemical/x-pdb Assessing Forest Fragmentation from Marcellus Shale Gas Development
by Matthew Cimitile — published May 10, 2013 — last modified Jun 04, 2015 03:44 PM — filed under: , , , ,
Expansion of drilling sites and associated infrastructure to extract natural gas from the Marcellus shale deposits has the potential to significantly reduce existing forest cover across the Marcellus field and leave what remains in a fragmented state.

Development by Design

The Central Appalachians harbor some of the most biologically diverse temperate broad‐leaf forests in the world. These forests provide large interior forest habitats, migratory pathways, and nested rare communities. But new energy development is clearing and fragmenting these precious forests. This presentation provides a briefing related to planning, monitoring, and evaluating environmental impacts of marcellus shale drilling.

Video Octet Stream Salamanders - The Hidden Jewels of Appalachia
by Joe Milmoe — published Oct 01, 2012 — last modified Mar 04, 2022 03:41 PM — filed under: , , , , ,
If you want to hit paydirt the Appalachian region is the world’s salamander El Dorado—home to over 70 salamander species. The Appalachian region of the eastern United States is the world's epicenter for salamander biodiversity.

Assessing Future Energy Development across the Appalachians
by Matthew Cimitile — published Nov 13, 2014 — last modified Mar 03, 2022 08:37 PM — filed under: , ,
The Nature Conservancy - with support from the FWS - has completed a study to assist policy makers, land management agencies, and industry in assessing potential future energy development and how that may overlap with biological and ecological values.

File C++ source code Assessing Future Energy Development across the Appalachian LCC. Final Report
by Judy K. Dunscomb, Jeffrey S. Evans, Jacqueline M. Strager, Michael P. Strager and Joseph M. Kiesecker — published Mar 05, 2015 — last modified Feb 01, 2018 11:02 PM — filed under: , , , , ,
In this study funded by the Appalachian LCC, The Nature Conservancy assessed current and future energy development across the entire region. The research combined multiple layers of data on energy development trends and important natural resource and ecosystem services to give a comprehensive picture of what future energy development could look like in the Appalachians. It also shows where likely energy development areas will intersect with other significant values like intact forests, important streams, and vital ecological services such as drinking water supplies.

File Development of a Spatially Explicit Surface Coal Mining Predictive Model
by Michael P. Strager, Jacquelyn M. Strager, Wesley Burnett, Aaron E. Maxwell, — published Nov 19, 2014 — last modified Jul 23, 2015 03:13 PM — filed under: , , , ,
The goal of this project was to create a spatially explicit 1km2 grid cell model for the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (Figure 1) predicting where surface coal mining is likely to occur in in a projected future time period, under two different scenarios. To accomplish this goal we combined GIS spatial analysis, a Random Forests predictive model, and future mining buildout scenarios. This report provides a detailed methodology of our approach and discussion of our results.
