The Mineral Development Atlas (MDA) was a joint project by the United State Geological Survey (USGS), the United States Bureau of Mines (USBM), and the state surveys of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa, and was launched in 1945 to gather information about mining and exploration in the lead-zinc district. The Atlas consists of section maps at 1:2400 scale showing exploration and mining activity in the lead-zinc district of the Upper Mississippi Valley. When the USGS offices in Platteville, WI closed, the Atlas was distributed to the states. The Wisconsin portion covers primarily Grant, Iowa, and Lafayette Counties, and WGNHS is currently working towards making the Wisconsin portion of the Atlas publicly available online....
The recipient will collaborate with the BEACONs Project team to support the NWB LCC in the application of the Conservation Matrix Model (CMM), as developed by BEACONs, within the NWB LCC planning region. This will include assistance with the acquisition and development of relevant datasets; modification of software planning tools; delivery of webinars and workshops for knowledge and technology transfer; identification of priority species goals, datasets, and models; and undertaking (1) pilot case studies in the Central Yukon and Bering Sea – Western Interior regions of Alaska to demonstrate the identification of candidate benchmark networks, and (2) a NWB LCC-wide assessment of benchmark potential including existing...
To inform management for a resilient and functioning landscape, we need to understand how the landscape is changing. The Northwest Boreal Landscape Conservation Cooperative, working with a diverse group of managers and stakeholders, initiated development of a coordinated monitoring system for the northwest boreal ecoregion in 2016. The goal for the coordinated monitoring system is to provide a set of common denominators (i.e., minimum standards) that will allow cooperators to combine monitoring data to make landscape-scale inferences. The monitoring system is intended to detect landscape-scale changes related to climate change or human disturbance. This effort is intended to leverage limited monitoring resources...
The Alaska Center for Conservation Science at the University of Alaska Anchorage, in partnership with the Northwest Boreal Landscape Conservation Cooperative, embarked on a project to map and quantify the human footprint across interior Alaska and northwestern Canada. The goal was to build a seamless dataset that spanned state, provincial and territorial boundaries to represent an initial look at intactness in the boreal ecosystems of western Canada and Alaska. This project builds upon work done by Ducks Unlimited Canada. Although our goal was to create a comprehensive representation of these footprint activities, we were limited to data that was publicly available, so this likely represents an underestimation of...
Partners developed a simulation model to better show how various projections associated with increased marine traffic in the Bering Sea might look in the coming decades. These simulations are able to help communities and managers better understand future patterns of traffic in the Bering Sea region as a whole, and look more specifically at possible changes in key areas of concern like the Bering Strait.Following vessel activity analysis and considering vessel type, transit routes, route timing, routing speed, and ports of call, we developed a novel agent-based, spatially-explicit, baseline model of current marine vessel traffic patterns. We then applied projections about changes in traffic volume from a report by...
