About
The Nature Conservancy - with support from the Appalachian LCC - has completed a study to assist policy makers, land management agencies, and industry in assessing potential future energy development and how that may overlap with biological and ecological values. Assessing Future Energy Development study assembled and combined data on various energy development trends such as coal, wind, and shale gas to help in identifying where these may intersect with important natural resource and ecosystem services to give a more comprehensive picture of what potential energy development could look like in the Appalachians. This gallery includes data layers that were developed from this analysis. For more information: http://applcc.org/plan-design/gis-planning/gis-tools-resources/assessing-future-energy-development-1.
