Conservation Easements - NYSDEC
This agreement is held between a landowner and a government agency or land trust, with the landowner maintaining ownership. The conservation easement can either be sold or donated, resulting in a variety of tax benefits for the landowner. The easement is recorded with the property's deed and transfers to all future landowners.The natural resources and landscape values that easements aim to protect include water quality, wildlife habitat, sensitive ecosystems, wetlands, riparian areas, scenic areas, working forests, and historic sites. All DEC conservation easements prioritize environmental protection, with many allowing some level of public recreational access. There are more than 900,000 acres of conservation easement lands managed by DEC's Division of Lands and Forests in New York State. While most of these lands are located within the Adirondack Park and Tug Hill Plateau, DEC also holds easements on a variety of other properties around the state. Links to DEC conservation easements that offer public access are available at the bottom of this webpage.Every Conservation Easement is UniqueThe purpose and terms of each conservation easement are tailored to the specific characteristics of each property, and most are designed to meet multiple conservation objectives. For example, an easement intended to conserve a scenic area will have different restrictions than an easement designed to protect an endangered species habitat. Some prohibit all future development, while others allow for limited new construction or other improvements. Most easements allow traditional uses of the land such as forestry, agriculture or recreation to continue as long as the conservation goals of the property are being met.Public Recreational OpportunitiesDEC has acquired some level of public recreation rights on most easement properties. The amount of public access depends on the goals and objectives of the landowner at the time the easement was negotiated, as well as the natural resources being protected by the easement. Working forest conservation easements provide public access to hundreds of thousands of acres of private land. However, public access may be suspended or relocated when forest management activities are underway.
Falling For Corn
According to some estimates, the United States loses about five tons of soil per acre each year, nearly 10 times the rate at which it forms. Researchers recently used machine learning and data from Landsat, Terra and Aqua MODIS, and ESA’s Sentinel-1 to show how conservation tillage could affect yields across the Corn Belt. They found that long-term, low-till corn fields actually experienced an average yield increase of 3.3 percent compared to more traditional tilling.

FAQs | Caltrans
I heard you were going to get rid of raised pavement markers. Is that true?

Yes, the California 
 Department of Transportation is studying the cost and 
 effectiveness of raised pavement markers and their use 
 in varying situations around California. No, Caltrans 
 is not thinking about getting rid of them any time soon. 
 For more information, read our Botts' 
 Dots Fact Sheet. 

Why are there signals installed at some freeway onramps?

 Stopping cars momentarily at on-ramps 
 can save motorists several minutes per trip because 
 overall freeway congestion is reduced. "Ramp meters" 
 are a familiar sight to California motorists, having 
 made their debut in 1966 at the intersection of Routes 
 5 and 14 in northern Los Angeles County. Since then, 
 the ubiquitous signals at urban on-ramps have helped 
 regulate the smooth flow of vehicles on to the freeway 
 and thereby ensure that freeways operate at maximum 
 capacity. Today, more than 1,000 ramp meters are in 
 operation statewide. Recently, the concept of metering 
 has been expanded to help alleviate congestion at freeway 
 interchanges, which have traditionally experienced some 
 of the worst congestion on the freeway system. Freeway-to-freeway 
 connector ramp meters were first put in use in 1978 
 along the westbound Route 94 corridor in San Diego. 
 In 1992, a freeway-to-freeway connector ramp meter was 
 installed in Los Angeles County at the transition from 
 southbound Route 5 and westbound Route 110. The Glenn 
 Anderson (105) Freeway is the first freeway to employ 
 connector ramp metering on full interchanges when it 
 opened in 1993. These signals in some cases employ the 
 traditional red-amber-green signalization typical of 
 local street intersections, rather than the red-green 
 lights more common on on-ramp meters. Connector ramp 
 meters were put in place at four interchanges along 
 Interstate 105: At the San Diego (405) Freeway, the 
 Harbor (110) Freeway, the Long Beach (710) Freeway and 
 the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway. Flashing overhead 
 warning signs alert motorists that the meters are ahead

GOES Missions -
A joint effort between NASA and NOAA, GOES-T will be renamed GOES-18 once it reaches geostationary orbit, replacing GOES-17 as GOES West. It will be positioned to watch over the western contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, Central America, and the Pacific Ocean. The satellite will be ideally located to monitor weather systems and hazards that most affect this region of the Western Hemisphere.
GOES-T is about the size of a small school bus and weighs more than 6,000 pounds. Liftoff, aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 41 in Florida, occurred right at the top of the two-hour launch window, at 4:38 p.m. EST. All milestones were successfully reached – from liftoff through spacecraft separation.
The launch was managed by NASA’s Launch Services Program, based at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
This concludes today’s live coverage of GOES-T launch day activities. To learn more about the GOES Satellite Network or to meet members of the GOES-T team, click here.

Winter Heat Swamps Alaska

Posted on February 13, 2014 by Tassia Owen 
	Posted in News and Events 

While much of the continental United States endured several cold snaps in January 2014, record-breaking warmth gripped Alaska. Spring-like conditions set rivers rising and avalanches tumbling.
This map depicts land surface temperature anomalies in Alaska for January 23-30, 2014. Based on data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite, the map shows how 2014 temperatures compared to the 2001-2010 average for the same week. Areas with warmer than average temperatures are shown in red; near-normal temperatures are white; and areas that were cooler than the base period are blue. Gray indicates oceans or areas where clouds blocked the satellite from collecting usable data. Read more

Snow and Ice in the Southeastern United States

Posted on February 13, 2014 by Tassia Owen 
	Posted in News and Events 

A large winter storm swept through the southeastern United States in January 2014, dropping snow and ice on an area unaccustomed to dealing with winter weather.
While clouds still covered most of the area affected by the storm when the Terra satellite passed over on January 29, 2014, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board captured this view of snow on the ground in parts of northern Georgia, northern South Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and western North Carolina. According to the National Weather Service, the storm dropped up to 9 inches (23 centimeters) of snow in parts of North Carolina, 4 inches (10 centimeters) in parts of South Carolina and Georgia, and 2 inches (5 centimeters) in parts of Tennessee. Atlanta received 2.6 inches (6.6 centimeters) of snow. Many areas also received significant amounts of freezing rain and sleet. Read more

Why should I care?
You may not have flown today, but something you needed or used today did. The latest electronic gadget, flowers for a loved one, life-saving medicine, or even fresh seafood for supper — many of your most important needs and wants were delivered to you because of air travel. The importance of aviation to our lives and our economy is undisputed. Ensuring we have the safest, most sustainable, and most advanced aeronautics technology is the goal of our hard-working aeronautical innovators. Here are some facts about aviation’s contributions to the the U.S. economy:
• 8.97 million flights by U.S. carriers worldwide in 2022• 24 million tons of freight transported by U.S. airlines in 2022• $77.3 billion positive manufacturing trade balance in 2022• 2.2 million aerospace/defense jobs; 602,000 in aeronautics/aircraft in 2022
With more than a century of aeronautical research heritage to back it up, we’re fond of reminding folks that NASA is with you when you fly. That’s because some piece or form of NASA technology is in use on every U.S. airplane flying today.
