Using LiDAR to Determine the Relationship between Fire History and Forest Structure at Crater Lake National Park
Project ID: J8W07110013 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $30,000 Total Funding: $40,208 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: There is a strong need at Crater Lake National Park and other forested areas to quantify long-term effects of fire on forest structure across broad spatial scales to facilitate the development and evaluation of fire management objectives. The goal of this collaborative project…
Identifying Potential Barriers, Corridors, and Refugia for Species in the Face of Climate Change
Project ID: J8W07110014 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $72,000 Total Funding: $236,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: In the coming century, climate change will result in shifts in the distributions of plants and animals. These range shifts are projected to significantly alter the flora and fauna of the National Parks. The movement of species in response to changing temperature, moisture,…
Development of Orthorectified Historic Imagery for Resource Assessments in the Central Alaska Network
Project ID: J8W07110015 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $57,371 Total Funding: $57,371 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The Central Alaska Network (CAKN) of the National Park Service (NPS) recognizes that climate change has the potential to significantly impact network parks. This is particularly true of interior units such as Yukon Charley Rivers National Preserve (YUCH) where the continental climate typically…
