Online Mapping Tool helps protect drinking water sources.
2016-02-23 14:31:08| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
EPA released DWMAPS – the Drinking Water Mapping Application to Protect Source Waters. Online mapping tool provides the public, water system operators, state programs, and federal agencies with critical information to help them safeguard sources of America's drinking water. In addition to helping users learn about their watershed and understand more about their water supplier, DWMAPS lets users see if sources of their drinking water are polluted.

Mapping the world for climate sensitivity
2016-02-18 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: By using satellites, biologists are now able to map which areas are most sensitive to climate variability on a global scale. A new metric, Vegetation Sensitivity Index (VSI), allows a more quantifiable response to climate change challenges and how sensitive different ecosystems are to short-term climate anomalies. Ecologically sensitive regions are the Arctic tundra, parts of the boreal forest belt, the tropical rainforests, alpine regions worldwide, steppe and prairie regions of central Asia and...

Mapping Ecosystems Sensitivity to Climate Change
2016-02-18 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Forests, tundras, and alpine areas are some of the worlds most at-risk ecosystems to climate change, according to a new map published in the journal Nature. The study, led by scientists at the University of Bergen in Norway, used satellite data collected from 2000 to 2013 to examine how sensitive plants were to changes in air temperature, water availability, and cloud cover, down to a two-square-mile scale. The scientists used the results to create the Vegetation Sensitivity Indexa visual guide...
