  • Nanjemoy and Mattawoman Creek Watersheds
    Defining the Indigenous Cultural Landscape for The Nanjemoy and Mattawoman Creek Watersheds Prepared By: Scott M. Strickland Virginia R. Busby Julia A. King With Contributions From: Francis Gray • Diana Harley • Mervin Savoy • Piscataway Conoy Tribe of Maryland Mark Tayac • Piscataway Indian Nation Joan Watson • Piscataway Conoy Confederacy and Subtribes Rico Newman • Barry Wilson • Choptico Band of Piscataway Indians Hope Butler • Cedarville Band of Piscataway Indians Prepared For: The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Annapolis, Maryland St. Mary’s College of Maryland St. Mary’s City, Maryland November 2015 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this project was to identify and represent the Indigenous Cultural Landscape for the Nanjemoy and Mattawoman creek watersheds on the north shore of the Potomac River in Charles and Prince George’s counties, Maryland. The project was undertaken as an initiative of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay office, which supports and manages the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. One of the goals of the Captain John Smith Trail is to interpret Native life in the Middle Atlantic in the early years of colonization by Europeans. The Indigenous Cultural Landscape (ICL) concept, developed as an important tool for identifying Native landscapes, has been incorporated into the Smith Trail’s Comprehensive Management Plan in an effort to identify Native communities along the trail as they existed in the early17th century and as they exist today. Identifying ICLs along the Smith Trail serves land and cultural conservation, education, historic preservation, and economic development goals. Identifying ICLs empowers descendant indigenous communities to participate fully in achieving these goals.

    Nick Walker, Ph.D. ([email protected]) Kim De Mutsert, Andy Dolloff, Vivek Prasad, A. Alonso Aguirre Joint Meeting of the American Eel Interest Group and the Sturgeon Interest Group December 12th, 2019 Why eels? Found in more habitats than another fish. Ideal for studies across a wide geographic area. Everyone talks about interconnectedness of ecosystems – eels live it. Connections with humans throughout history, opportunities for citizen science. A fish that can bring people back to nature. Adapted from Tsukamoto (2014). Fig. 1. American Eel sampling events Objectives Objective was to build a model of the subwatersheds of the Chesapeake Bay using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM); then add eel data, dams and land use. Goal was to create color‐coded maps of where eels are doing well and areas that might be prioritized for conservation. This study is follow‐up to our previous work on American Eel demographics in the Chesapeake Bay. Methods –Data collection Eel data from VA DGIF, MD DNR, USFWS et al. Elevation data from ASTER DEM (plus river data from USGS small scale maps). Dam data from The Nature Conservancy. Land use from Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium. Sources limited by 2019 government shutdown. Methods Delineating streams and watersheds in ArcGIS: Load ASTER tiles (30x30m resolution; 20 tiles for study area). Fill, Flow direction and Flow Accumulation on each tile. Raster calculator: SetNull(“bay_flowac” < 27778,1) This sets minimum threshold to 25 km2 (or 25*106)/(302) Stream Link, Stream Order and Stream to Feature on each tile. Watersheds split along mainstem every 50 km.

  • Pocomoke Floodplain Restoration 1,193 839
    Pocomoke Floodplain Restoration Freeing a Trapped River © Kent Mason 75 Years of Channelization Pocomoke is an Algonquin word meaning “black water.” The heavy vegetation along Key Accomplishments*: the river’s swampy banks decomposes as organic matter into the river, coloring the water an inky black. The river was a key trading route for Native Americans for at least acres of public lands 300 years before English settlers arrived. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, the river 1,193 restored was dredged and channelized, and its banks clear-cut of timber, with the objective of eliminating the flooding of farmland that had been established within the river’s acres of private lands watershed. What wasn’t understood at the time was the important role that the 839 restored river’s natural flooding cycles play in the health of the surrounding cypress swamp, which is home to a biodiverse ecosystem. Recent scientific studies led by The Nature Conservancy and the US Geological Survey revealed that a restored Pocomoke acres of private lands floodplain would have a significant additional benefit — water that flows through the planned for future 552 restoration river’s swampy floodplain is naturally filtered, removing nutrients and sediment from upstream agricultural runoff, before flowing downstream into the Chesapeake Bay. *Results reported as of May 2017 Freeing a Trapped River In 2012, The Nature Conservancy and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources joined the Pocomoke floodplain restoration effort being led by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service. The restoration of the Pocomoke floodplain is one of the largest ecological restoration efforts in Maryland’s history.

  • Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs
    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip.

  • Multiproxy Evidence of Holocene Climate Variability from Estuarine Sediments, Eastern North America T
    PALEOCEANOGRAPHY, VOL. 20, PA4006, doi:10.1029/2005PA001145, 2005 Multiproxy evidence of Holocene climate variability from estuarine sediments, eastern North America T. M. Cronin,1 R. Thunell,2 G. S. Dwyer,3 C. Saenger,1 M. E. Mann,4,5 C. Vann,1 and R. R. Seal II1 Received 14 February 2005; revised 19 May 2005; accepted 8 July 2005; published 19 October 2005. [1] We reconstructed paleoclimate patterns from oxygen and carbon isotope records from the fossil estuarine benthic foraminifera Elphidium and Mg/Ca ratios from the ostracode Loxoconcha from sediment cores from Chesapeake Bay to examine the Holocene evolution of North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)-type climate variability. Precipitation-driven river discharge and regional temperature variability are the primary influences 18 on Chesapeake Bay salinity and water temperature, respectively. We first calibrated modern d Owater to salinity 18 and applied this relationship to calculate trends in paleosalinity from the d Oforam, correcting for changes in water temperature estimated from ostracode Mg/Ca ratios. The results indicate a much drier early Holocene in which mean paleosalinity was 28 ppt in the northern bay, falling 25% to 20 ppt during the late Holocene. Early Holocene Mg/Ca-derived temperatures varied in a relatively narrow range of 13° to 16°C with a mean temperature of 14.2°C and excursions above 16°C; the late Holocene was on average cooler (mean temperature of 12.8°C). In addition to the large contrast between early and late Holocene regional climate conditions, multidecadal (20–40 years) salinity and temperature variability is an inherent part of the region’s climate during both the early and late Holocene, including the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age.
