Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of White Sands National Monument

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit.  Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

Initially, the 2005 New Mexico statewide acquisition Digital Ortho-photo Quarter Quads (DOQQs) were used as the foundation imagery for the vegetation map .  These DOQQs came as separate natural color and color-infrared sets which altogether gathered four separate bands of spectral reflectance values from the visible blue to the near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths at a 1-m spatial resolution.  These four separate bands were combined into one file and then mosaicked together.  The ortho-photo mosaic was resampled to a 2-m spatial resolution. All imagery and other spatial data layers were compiled into a geodatabase and GIS using ArcGIS 10.4 (ESRI 2008).  To support the mapping process, we acquired a standard set of relevant spatial data layers including digital elevation models, digital raster graphics (DRGs) of 1:24,000-scale USGS topographic maps, roads, ownership, geology (Hawley et al. 2005; Fryberger 2001) and soils (USDA-NRCS 2017).

Bat Acoustic Data from Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, 2019

To inform future management actions, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (GLCA) conducted a suite of bat monitoring efforts from April 15–September 24, 2019. We used the USGS Early Emergence white-nose syndrome (WNS) monitoring protocol to aid nation-wide efforts to track the spread of the disease. We did not observe any symptoms of WNS on bats captured during Early Emergence, nor did genetic analysis detect traces of the causal agent, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, on any bats sampled. We captured the spotted bat (Euderma maculatum) for the first time in GLCA history, and successfully located the roosts of one California myotis (Myotis californicus) and one canyon bat (Parastrellus hesperus), both located in rock crevices. Additionally, we piloted a radio-telemetry study to characterize the hibernacula of species effected by white-nose syndrome. We used the North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat; Loeb et al. 2015) protocol to assess bat species distribution throughout GLCA, and we supplemented this assessment with occupancy data obtained through mist-netting. NABat monitoring efforts resulted in 44,432 recorded calls (stationary point acoustic surveys = 44,380 recorded calls, mobile acoustic transect surveys = 52 recorded calls) representing 17 bat species. We modified the NABat protocol to monitor bats along the Colorado and San Juan Rivers as part of a citizen science-based program. We engaged 197 youth in our citizen science based acoustic bat monitoring program which resulted in 33,816 recorded calls. On 07/20/19, GLCA and Glen Canyon Conservancy (GCC) hosted the 4th Annual Glen Canyon Bat Festival and welcomed 200+ visitors to the event. Jason Corbett (Bat Conservation International Subterranean Program Director) presented on the impact of wind energy development on Southwestern United States bat species. Tania Parra (Latino Heritage Internship Program intern) shared how citizen scientists are contributing to bat conservation efforts in GLCA. Educational booths and games consisted of threats (i.e. WNS, wind power development, caving decontamination protocols), bat house construction, gardening for bats, effects of artificial lighting on bats, bat monitoring equipment, and arts and crafts for kids. Attendees enjoyed learning how to use Echo Meter Touch monitoring devices on two bat listening walks. We updated the GLCA Bats web page (https://www.nps.gov/glca/learn/nature/bats.htm) and developed a Adopt-a-Bat rack card to promote the GCC Adopt-a-Bat program (http://canyonconservancy.org/donation-products/adopt-a-bat) which promotes GLCA bat conservation efforts. Continued monitoring will allow for early detection of Pd and WNS, and continued study of roost usage will allow for informed management of critical habitat.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Collecting harvestmen and centipedes for phylogenomics: An investigation of the arthropod Tree of Life

PI aims to collect specimens of selected species of harvestmen/grand-daddy-long-legs (Opiliones) and centipedes (Chilopoda) to better understand their place in the arthropod tree of life. For almost two decades his laboratory has been working on the phylogenetic relationships of centipedes and harvestmen.

Historic Cook Inlet intertidal algal and bivalve references

A summary of previous intertidal research in western Cook Inlet in the BOEM Lease Sale 244 area was conducted in advance of the 2015 project field season to identify geographic gaps in the study area where intertidal research had not
occurred. This relational database contains tables holding data for historical references, study sites, algae occurrences, and bivalve occurrences. The database recorded species presence at given sites, and included study metrics, such as whether biomass or percent cover was measured for a given species at a given site, and whether tissues were sampled for contaminants or other constituents.  

The compiled information will make historical data more readily available to researchers and the public, and may be used by BOEM and others in development of ecological studies as well as for use in permitting processes and environmental assessments.

Inventory of reptiles in Great Smoky Mountains National Park

From April 2000 to November 2004 (44 months), various field methods were used to capture of encounter reptiles in GSMNP, including placement of metal roofing tin cover, visual encounter searches, drift fences with funnel traps, baited aquatic turtle traps, and searches for road kills.

Over the course of the survey, 1,355 individuals of 33 species were encountered. Two new reptile occurrences were confirmed for the park--the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) and the Cumberland slider turtle (Trachemys scripta troostii)--bringing the total number of reptile species historically recorded from the park to 38. The five most commonly encountered species in our survey were the Eastern Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis), Northern Black Racer (Coluber constrictor), Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix), Ringneck Snake (Diadophis punctatus), and the Northern Water Snake (Nerodia sipedon).  Five species historically recorded from the park were not encountered during the survey: the Northern Scarlet Snake (Cemophora coccinea), Pine Snake (Pituophis melanoleucus), Southeastern Crowned Snake (Tantilla coronata), Eastern Slender Glass Lizard (Ophisaurus attenuatus), and the Coal Skink (Eumeces anthracinus).

Species of Freshwater Sponges and Their Distribution Within The Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Two species of sponge were detected in the park in the Abrams Creek embayment: Trochospongilla horrida and Radiospongilla crateriformes.  These are both widely distributed and common sponges in Tennessee.  Sites on the Middle Prong Little River, Little Pigeon River, Oconaluftee River, and a separate site on Abrams Creek did not produce sponges. It is conjectured that other streams lack sufficient food or nutrients for sponges or they have difficulties dispersing into the mountain streams.

Recycling in DC: Pathway to Zero Waste

<p>This StoryMap is here to walk you through the entire DPW-serviced residential recycling process from start to finish. The goal of this StoryMap is to inspire recycling participation through education and strong insights on how to recycle "the right way." You will also learn how the recycling you separate at-home is collected, screened, sorted, and transferred by DC DPW for processing into new products. ​</p><p>The District's first residential recycling program was started in March of 1989. At first, only newspapers were accepted. In 1991, additional materials, glass, plastic, metals were added to the list of acceptable items. In 2014, the Sustainable DC Plan was established outlining many of the District's sustainability goals, including the District's Zero Waste goal of diverting 80% of citywide waste away from landfill and incineration towards more beneficial use. Since then, the Inter-Agency Waste Reduction Working Group has been hard at work; to build a foundation for long-term success.</p><p>Many materials are accepted for curbside recycling in the District including paper, plastic, glass, and metal. Generally speaking, items must be at least 2" x 2" in diameter to be considered large enough to be properly sorted at recycling facilities. But all items must all also be clean, dry, and empty in order to be recycled.​&nbsp;</p><p>Learn more in this interactive story map.</p>
