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.

Project ECMAScript program Synthesis of climate model downscaling products for the southeastern United States
by Web Editor — published Dec 16, 2013 — last modified Jun 04, 2015 03:40 PM — filed under: , ,
Downscaling translates large-scale climate information to the local scale. There are several techniques for handling this process; recently, several downscaled climate products have been produced by government and academic researchers. Ecologists, conservation scientists, and practitioners require such local guidance to evaluate adaptation and conservation strategies. However, the large number of methods involved, different downscaling approaches, resolutions, time periods, and focal variables limits the ability of these users to form meaningful conclusions and evaluate the results of adaptation strategies. To address these issues, this project will summarize the methods used for downscaling, identify the metrics most appropriate for evaluation of climate model skill and usability for the ecological and conservation communities in the southeastern US, and begin a longer-term effort to evaluate the range of downscaled climate products over this geographic region.

Project Climate Simulations for Southeast and Appalachians
by Matthew Cimitile — published Sep 18, 2013 — last modified Oct 15, 2014 04:59 PM — filed under: , ,
A DOI Southeast Climate Science Center funded research project will be evaluating the latest generation of global climate models to generate scenarios of future change to climate, hydrology, and vegetation for the Southeastern U.S. as well as the entire range of the Appalachian LCC.

Project Evaluating Effect of Climate Change on River Flows in the Clinch River Basin
by Matthew Cimitile — published Aug 21, 2013 — last modified Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM — filed under: , , , ,
A new project by the U.S. Geological Survey is evaluating the potential cascading effects to river flows and quality aquatic habitat due to changes in climate within an ecologically important area of the Appalachian LCC. A greater understanding of likely flow changes within the Virginia portion of the Clinch River Basin will allow managers to better respond to alterations and degradation of physical habitat. Information and results from this study will also provide managers with methods to be applied throughout the Appalachian LCC region. (Photo by Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries)

I work on conservation planning (biological foundation and landscape design) for birds of conservation concern, with a focus on landbirds, as well as designing and implementing monitoring programs to track population status of such species and evaluate the success of conservation actions for these species.

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.
