Assessments of stream water quality relative to bacterial activities in the Chattanooga Area: Data digitization, database establishment, and GIS applications [Categories: Bacteria, Freshwater ecosystems, Water quality ] The focus of this project is to digitize and organize data for GIS presentation from three separate studies of bacterial processes related to water quality in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area conducted from 1995 through 2004. The first study for this ...more

Assessments of water quality, habitat, and aquatic macrofauna in a Cumberland Plateau stream: a geographic information system (GIS) approach [Categories: Environmental assessment, Environmental monitoring, Freshwater ecosystems, Geographic information systems ] Acid mine drainage (AMD) from active and abandoned coal mines has resulted in severely degraded water quality and the substantial loss of aquatic biodiversity. In many Appalachian streams, decades of coal mining have created acidic conditions (pH < ...more

Building an NBII Portal Community for the Appalachian Trail Environmental Inventory and Monitoring [Categories: Biomonitoring, Monitoring, Monitoring systems ] The AT Community has become an integral part of the Appalachian Trail Environmental Monitoring Program, an integrated science-based initiative headed by members of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, the National Park Service, and the U.S. Geological ...more

Cave and Karst Inventory Project [Categories: Caves, Erosion features, Karstic environments ] SAIN is mapping and cataloging a cave system as part of a pilot project aimed at enhancing the delivery of sensitive cave and karst data without threatening the integrity of the system. To date, a detailed cave system located in Bath County, Virgini...more

Characterization and economic benefits of urban ecosystems [Categories: Ecosystems, Public policy, Urban environments ] Urban ecosystems provide humans with a variety of good and services. These include air purification, stormwater control, temperature control, recreational activities, and even food production. Managing urban ecosystem, however, requires a better unde...more
