Biological Sciences

Mangrove species are uniquely adapted to tropical and subtropical coasts, and although relatively low in number of species, mangrove forests provide at least US $1.6 billion each year in ecosystem services and support coastal livelihoods worldwide. Globally, mangrove areas are declining rapidly as they are cleared for coastal development and aquaculture and logged for timber and fuel production. Little is known about the effects of mangrove area loss on individual mangrove species and local or regional populations. To address this gap, species-specific information on global distribution, population status, life history traits, and major threats were compiled for each of the …

Predictions Of The Effect Of Wetland-Type Soil On Water Chemistry In The Lake Sunapee Watershed, Nh, Hannah Roebuck

Mapping and GIS

Understanding the ecosystem controls on the production and accumulation of methylmercury (MeHg) is a pressing issue for both environmental and public health. Certain landcover characteristics affect water chemistry in a watershed, thus predisposing it to MeHg contamination. Of these factors, wetlands have been found as the primary characteristic in predicting concentrations of MeHg in a stream. It is not clear, however, whether 1) total area or 2) percentage of wetland soils in a watershed or 3) the proximity of wetland soils to the sampling site matter most in predicting associated stream water chemistry. GIS modeling was applied to test each …

Belgrade Lakes Region: School Enrollment & School Districts, Megan Browning

Atlas of Maine

This map uses Census Bureau data at a census block level to calculate the number of people enrolled in school, from nursery school through high school. Three sets of boundaries are included: Maine School Administrative Districts (MSAD), Community School Districts (CSD), and Individual School Administrative Units. Although the Belgrade watershed is highlighted in the map, note that boundaries extend beyond this border.

Atlas of Maine

This is a map of transportation of the Belgrade Lake Region which includes roads and road names, hydrological landmarks, terrestrial landmarks, railways, bridges, boating facilities, and airports.

Belgrade Lakes: Lake Surface Elevation And Impoundments, Daniel Homeier

Atlas of Maine

This map illustrates the effect of impoundments on surface water elevation. The translucent coloring of each lake represents the surface water elevation (white representing 254m, brown representing 248m, etc.). The surface water elevation of each lake becomes progressively lower (the highest being East Pond and the lowest being Messalonskee Lake) because of 5 dams regulating water flow among the lakes. Lakes depth is depicted using bathymetry data in which darker colors represent deeper water. The elevation of the land surrounding the Belgrade lakes is depicted by a hillshade layer in order to portray topography.

Total Number Of Housing Units And Rented Units In The Belgrade Lakes Region, Rachael Panning

Kennebec County Road Bicycle Commuting Compatibility, Daniel Homeier

Atlas of Maine

As bicycles become an increasingly popular means of transportation it is vital to determine what roads are most suitable for bicycle commuting. I used GIS to analyze factors that influence bicycle compatibility to create a bicycle commuting compatibility model and map for roads in Kennebec County, Maine. I found that more roads in Kennebec County are suitable for bicycle commuting (37.8% with medium compatibility and 37.9% with high compatibility) than unsuitable (24.3% with low compatibility).The model I developed could be applied to any roads for which appropriate data are available.
