Getting to Know ArcView GIS

The Geographic Information System (GIS) for Everyone

By: Environmental Systems Research Institute (Redlands, Calif.)

Geographic information systems (GIS) help visualize information in new ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends not visible with other popular systems. This book is a nontechnical introduction to GIS technology explaining what it is, how it works, and who uses it. It offers illustrated, step-by-step procedures for using ArcView GIS Version 3.1 software to perform dozens of GIS tasks. The book is full of exercises that can also be worked on by using the software and data provided on the CD-ROM. Readers will come away with a solid understanding of basic GIS concepts and the skills needed to embark on an ArcView GIS project of their own.

Assessing Risks to Endangered and Threatened Species from Pesticides

By: Committee on Ecological Risk Assessment Under FIFRA and ESA,Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology,Division on Earth and Life Studies,National Research Council

The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are responsible for protecting species that are listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and for protecting habitats that are critical for their survival. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for registering or reregistering pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and must ensure that pesticide use does not cause any unreasonable adverse effects on the environment, which is interpreted to include listed species and their critical habitats. The agencies have developed their own approaches to evaluating environmental risk, and their approaches differ because their legal mandates, responsibilities, institutional cultures, and expertise differ. Over the years, the agencies have tried to resolve their differences but have been unsuccessful in reaching a consensus regarding their assessment approaches. As a result, FWS, NMFS, EPA, and the US Department of Agriculture asked the National Research Council (NRC) to examine scientific and technical issues related to determining risks posed to listed species by pesticides. Specifically, the NRC was asked to evaluate methods for identifying the best scientific data available; to evaluate approaches for developing modeling assumptions; to identify authoritative geospatial information that might be used in risk assessments; to review approaches for characterizing sublethal, indirect, and cumulative effects; to assess the scientific information available for estimating effects of mixtures and inert ingredients; and to consider the use of uncertainty factors to account for gaps in data. Assessing Risks to Endangered and Threatened Species from Pesticides, which was prepared by the NRC Committee on Ecological Risk Assessment under FIFRA and ESA, is the response to that request.

Geoprocessing in ArcGIS

By: Jill McCoy,Environmental Systems Research Institute (Redlands, Calif.)

This book is a useful reference for geoprocessingthe processing of geographic information, one of the most basic functions of a geographic information system (GIS). Within any of the ArcGIS Desktop productsArcInfo, ArcEditor, and ArcViewyou can perform geoprocessing tasks such as converting geographic data to various formats, clipping one dataset with another, or intersecting datasets to create a new dataset. These operations can be leveraged individually via dialog boxes or in sequence by creating models or scripts that consume multiple tools. Begin with the quick-start tutorial for an overview of how to perform geoprocessing tasks with ArcGIS. If you prefer, jump right in and experiment on your own. The book also includes concise, step-by-step, fully illustrated answers to your examples.

An Evaluation of the U.S. Department of Energy's Marine and Hydrokinetic Resource Assessments

An Evaluation of the U.S. Department of Energy's Marine and Hydrokinetic Resource Assessments

Increasing renewable energy development, both within the United States and abroad, has rekindled interest in the potential for marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) resources to contribute to electricity generation. These resources derive from ocean tides, waves, and currents; temperature gradients in the ocean; and free-flowing rivers and streams. One measure of the interest in the possible use of these resources for electricity generation is the increasing number of permits that have been filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). As of December 2012, FERC had issued 4 licenses and 84 preliminary permits, up from virtually zero a decade ago. However, most of these permits are for developments along the Mississippi River, and the actual benefit realized from all MHK resources is extremely small. The first U.S. commercial gridconnected project, a tidal project in Maine with a capacity of less than 1 megawatt (MW), is currently delivering a fraction of that power to the grid and is due to be fully installed in 2013. As part of its assessment of MHK resources, DOE asked the National Research Council (NRC) to provide detailed evaluations. In response, the NRC formed the Committee on Marine Hydrokinetic Energy Technology Assessment. As directed in its statement of task (SOT), the committee first developed an interim report, released in June 2011, which focused on the wave and tidal resource assessments (Appendix B). The current report contains the committee's evaluation of all five of the DOE resource categories as well as the committee's comments on the overall MHK resource assessment process. This summary focuses on the committee's overarching findings and conclusions regarding a conceptual framework for developing the resource assessments, the aggregation of results into a single number, and the consistency across and coordination between the individual resource assessments. Critiques of the individual resource assessment, further discussion of the practical MHK resource base, and overarching conclusions and recommendations are explained in An Evaluation of the U.S. Department of Energy's Marine and Hydrokinetic Resource Assessment.
