Conservation Priorities Science Needs Workshop
-
The Conservation Priorities Science Needs Workshop took place on November 29-30, 2011 in Blacksburg, VA. A group of over 150 invited researchers and managers representing a diverse cross-section of expertise and affiliations were assembled to identify the science information needs of Appalachia in order to effectively address the conservation challenges and opportunities across the landscape. The resulting “Portfolio” of science needs will serve as a critical guiding framework to help facilitate and support conservation planning, delivery, and applied research and monitoring efforts across the Appalachian LCC.

Our Plan
-
Full Proposal: Assessing Future Energy Development Across the Appalachian Mountains
-
Scientists will employ land use change build-out scenaria for future energy development demand to quantify future impacts on forest habitats across the Appalachian LCC. We propose to create maps of wind, oil and gas, and coal development potential for the entire study area and use these maps and published projections from federal and state land management agencies to model future build-out scenaria.

RFA 3 - Forecast future spatial footprint of energy production across the Appalachian LCC region - Word Doc
-
Without a predictive visualization of energy development, the Appalachian LCC cannot make informed decisions on landscape conservation priorities. This project will provide an overview of principal stressors created by energy development, by sector and cumulatively across the Appalachian LCC. The products to be developed will include forecasting model(s), and Geographic Information System (GIS) products to provide a projection of the energy development footprint across the Appalachians LCC by individual sector and cumulative footprint. Deliverables will inform resource management decisions by providing a foundational reference for predicting potential future development as a spatial footprint that can be overlaid with Appalachian LCC targets and priorities.

Development by Design
-
The Central Appalachians harbor some of the most biologically diverse temperate broad‐leaf forests in the world. These forests provide large interior forest habitats, migratory pathways, and nested rare communities. But new energy development is clearing and fragmenting these precious forests. This presentation provides a briefing related to planning, monitoring, and evaluating environmental impacts of marcellus shale drilling.
