Climate Change, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area Patrick Gonzalez
Climate Change, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area Patrick Gonzalez Abstract Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities have caused global climate change and widespread impacts on physical systems, ecosystems, and biodiversity. To assist in the integration of climate change science into resource management in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (NRA), particularly the proposed restoration of wetlands at Watergate, this report presents: (1) results of original spatial analyses of historical and projected climate trends at 800 m spatial resolution, (2) results of a systematic scientific literature review of historical impacts, future vulnerabilities, and carbon, focusing on research conducted in the park, and (3) results of original spatial analyses of precipitation in the Vancampens Brook watershed, location of the Watergate wetlands. Average annual temperature from 1950 to 2010 increased at statistically significant rates of 1.1 ± 0.5ºC (2 ± 0.9ºF.) per century (mean ± standard error) for the area within park boundaries and 0.9 ± 0.4ºC (1.6 ± 0.7ºF.) per century for the Vancampens Brook watershed. The greatest temperature increase in the park was in spring. Total annual precipitation from 1950 to 2010 showed no statistically significant change. Few analyses of field data from within or near the park have detected historical changes that have been attributed to human climate change, although regional analyses of bird counts from across the United States (U.S.) show that climate change shifted winter bird ranges northward 0.5 ± 0.3 km (0.3 ± 0.2 mi.) per year from 1975 to 2004. With continued emissions of greenhouse gases, projections under the four emissions scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicate annual average temperature increases of up to 5.2 ± 1ºC (9 ± 2º F.) (mean ± standard deviation) from 2000 to 2100 for the park as a whole. -

The Nature of Boulder-Rich Deposits in the Upper Big Flat Brook Drainage, Sussex County, New Jersey
Middle States Geographer, 2009, 42: 33-43 THE NATURE OF BOULDER-RICH DEPOSITS IN THE UPPER BIG FLAT BROOK DRAINAGE, SUSSEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Gregory A. Pope, Andrew J. Temples, Sean I. McLearie, Joanne C. Kornoelje, and Thomas J. Glynn Department of Earth & Environmental Studies Montclair State University 1 Normal Avenue Montclair, New Jersey, 07043 ABSTRACT: The upper reaches of the Big Flat Brook drainage, northwest of Kittatinny Mountain, contain a variety of glacial, pro-glacial, and periglacial deposits from the Late Quaternary. The area is dominated by recessional moraines and ubiquitous ground moraine, along with meltwater deposits, drumlins, and possible post- glacial periglacial features. We have identified a curious boulder-rich deposit in the vicinity of Lake Ocquittunk and Lake Wapalanne on upper Big Flat Brook. The area where these boulder deposits occur is mapped (1:24,000 surficial geology) as till. As mapped and observed, larger cobbles and boulders within the till are quartz-pebble conglomerate, quartzite, sandstone, and shale. The boulder-rich deposits differ from the typical till, however. Unlike the local till, which is more mixed in lithology, the boulder deposits are nearly exclusively Shawangunk conglomerate. The deposits are discontinuous, but appear to occur at a topographic level above the meltwater stream terraces. The boulders in the deposits lie partially embedded in soil, but are very closely spaced. The boulders range in size from ~20cm to over 100cm, and present a subrounded to subangular shape. There appears to be a fabric orientation of the boulders, NE-SW, with subsidiary orientations. As the boulder deposits differ from other mapped features in the area, we attempt to ascertain the origin for the deposits. -
