AppLCC has also created a series of Fact Sheets relating to all of the AppLCC funded Projects.
A Synthesis of Research Products document highlights tools, products, and data developed by the Cooperative for resource managers and partners to address the environmental threats that are beyond the scope of any one agency. Specific research product fact sheets provide in-depth details about the use and functions of Appalachian LCC funded research products and tools, including:
- Assessing Future Energy Development across the Appalachians
