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 Shale Gas, Wind and Water: Assessing the Potential Cumulative Impacts of Energy Development on Ecosystem Services within the Marcellus Play
by Evans JS, Kiesecker — published Dec 12, 2014 — last modified Jul 23, 2015 03:11 PM — filed under: , ,
A Nature Conservancy study funded by the Robertson Foundation and published by the open-access Public Library of Science (PLoS) in January 2014, assessed potential impacts of future energy development on water resources in the Marcellus play region.

File chemical/x-pdb Pennsylvania Energy Impacts Assessment
by Nels Johnson — published Dec 12, 2014 — last modified Jul 23, 2015 03:11 PM — filed under: , ,
In 2010, TNC scientists focused on projections of how new energy development could impact natural habitats in Pennsylvania to shape strategies that avoid or minimize those impacts.

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.

File Report: Riparian Prioritization and Status Assessment for Climate Change Resilience of Coldwater Stream Habitats within the Appalachian and Northeastern Regions
by RPCCR Research Team — published Nov 03, 2014 — last modified Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM — filed under: , , , ,
Among a host of other critical ecosystem functions, intact riparian forests can help to reduce vulnerability of coldwater stream habitats to warming regional temperatures. Restoring and conserving these forests can therefore be an important part of regional and landscape-scale conservation plans, but managers need science and decision-support tools to help determine when these actions will be most effective. To help fill this need, we developed the Riparian Prioritization for Climate Change Resilience (RPCCR) web-based decision support tool to quickly and easily identify, based on current riparian cover and predicted vulnerability to air temperature warming, sites that are priority candidates for riparian restoration and conservation.

File ECMAScript program Enhancing the Climate Resilience of America’s Natural Resources
by COUNCIL ON CLIMATE PREPAREDNESS AND RESILIENCE — published Oct 09, 2014 — filed under: , , , ,
The President's Climate and Natural Resources Priority Agenda is the result of an interagency process to inventory and assess current policies, programs, and regulations related to climate change adaptation. The Agenda builds upon the robust climate change adaptation work already accomplished by Federal agencies and identifies significant actions moving forward. It specifically mentions how Federal agencies working to address ecosystem management issues through LCCs and other multi-stakeholder bodies will work with partners to select flagship geographic regions for which they will identify priority areas for conservation, restoration, or other investments to build resilience in vulnerable regions, enhance carbon storage capacity, and support management needs. Within 24 months, these agencies and their partners will have identified and mapped the initial list of priority areas within each of the selected geographic landscapes or regions.

File Putting the Nation on a Path for Climate Resilience and Preparedness: NOAA's Information and Expertise
by NOAA — published Apr 15, 2014 — filed under: , , , ,
Information seekers can turn to NOAA personnel on the ground to access and apply available information to specific questions and needs. NOAA provides a wide range of climate information through monthly, seasonal and decade forecasts and data tailored to the specific needs of different sectors. NOAA uses this same information to take direct action to increase the resilience and facilitate adaptation of the nation’s valuable marine and coastal resources and the people that depend on them.
