Executive Summary In keeping with the City’s progressive approach to creating a livable community, Norcross embarked on the preparation of a Parks Master Plan to provide guidance for strategic phasing and spending that will address deficiencies and identify the key recreational needs as expressed by the residents. The prioritization of projects within the Master Plan allows for selective phasing and spending and helps to focus attention on key issues, rather than attempting to do all things for all people. The overwhelming opinion of the community is that the City has done an exceptional job with the recent redevelopments of Thrasher Park, Lillian Webb Park, and the downtown. Equally overwhelming was the identification of a significant shortfall in recreational opportunities southeast of Buford Highway. With significant population increases forecasted for the next twenty years, it is important that key issues and priorities be established and, where possible, addressed before opportunity for land acquisition or greenway development is no long possible and/or economical. The following is a summary of the five highest priorities identified in this Parks Master Plan, in order of priority for resource allocation and implementation. #1 – PARKLAND IN THE SOUTHEAST The focus group sessions, surveys, and inventory assessment all concluded that the number one priority was the need to address the absence of recreational facilities and/or space southeast of Buford Highway. While the existence of City-owned land on Mitchell Road is ideally located for meeting the geographic requirements of open space needs of residents in the area, there is a possibility that costly remedial measures may not justify the development of this site as an active park. If this is the case, the number one priority needs to be the securing of suitable land for active recreation opportunities, including soccer fields, play equipment, spray pad, picnic facilities, and trails for safe access

  • The Role of Wildfire in Shaping the Structure and Function of California ‘Mediterranean’ Stream-Riparian Ecosystems in Yosemite National Park
    The role of wildfire in shaping the structure and function of California ‘Mediterranean’ stream-riparian ecosystems in Yosemite National Park DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Breeanne Kathleen Jackson Graduate Program in Environment and Natural Resources The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: S. Mažeika P. Sullivan, Advisor Amanda D. Rodewald Desheng Liu Copyrighted by Breeanne Kathleen Jackson 2015 Abstract Although fire severity has been shown to be a key disturbance to stream-riparian ecosystems in temperate zones, the effects of fire severity on stream-riparian structure and function in Mediterranean-type systems remains less well resolved. Mediterranean ecosystems of California are characterized by high interannual variability in precipitation and susceptibility to frequent high-intensity wildfires. From 2011 to 2014, I investigated the influence of wildfire occurring in the last 3-15 years across 70 study reaches on stream-riparian ecosystems in Yosemite National Park (YNP), located in the central Sierra Nevada, California, USA. At 12 stream reaches paired by fire-severity (one high- severity burned, one low-severity burned), I found no significant differences in riparian plant community structure and composition, stream geomorphology, or benthic macroinvertebrate density or community composition. Tree cover was significantly lower at reaches burned with high-severity fire, however this is expected because removal of the conifer canopy partly determined study-reach selection. Further, I found no difference in density, trophic position, mercury (Hg) body loading, or reliance on aquatically- derived energy (i.e., nutritional subsidies derived from benthic algal pathways) of/by riparian spiders of the family Tetragnathidae, a streamside consumer that can rely heavily on emerging aquatic insect prey.

  • The Great Divide Free
    FREE THE GREAT DIVIDE PDF Dodds | 32 pages | 03 Feb 2005 | Candlewick Press,U.S. | 9780763615925 | English | Massachusetts, United States The Great Divide The Continental Divide extends from the Bering The Great Divide to the Strait of Magellanand separates the watersheds that drain into the Pacific Ocean The Great Divide those river systems that drain into the Atlantic Ocean including those that drain into the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea and, along the northernmost reaches of the Divide, those river systems that drain into the Arctic The Great Divide and Hudson Bay. Although there are many other hydrological divides in the Americas, the Continental Divide is by far the most prominent of these because it tends to follow a line of high peaks along the main ranges of the Rocky Mountains and Andesat a generally much higher elevation than the other hydrological divisions. From there the Divide traverses the McGregor Plateau to the spine of the Rockies, following the crest of the Canadian Rockies southeast to the th meridian westfrom The Great Divide forming the boundary between southern British Columbia and southern Alberta. Further south, the Divide forms the backbone of the Rocky Mountain Front Front Range in the Bob Marshall Wildernessheads south towards Helena and Buttethen west past the namesake community of Divide, Montanathrough the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness to the Bitterroot Rangewhere it forms the eastern third of the state The Great Divide between Idaho and Montana. The Divide then proceeds south into western New Mexicopassing along the western boundary of the endorheic Plains of San Agustin.

These will be used primarily as the release points for trajectories in chapter 5 and also to evaluate moisture fluxes in chapter 4 of Craig(2018) - this documentation is also adapted from chapter 2 of Craig(2018). Figure1 shows the drainage basins for the major oceans and seas. The aim is to use topographic datasets (section4) to approximate the catchment boundaries and the ocean drainage basins they surround. These will not precisely match Figure1 as they are approximated and also because different extents of the ocean drainage basins will be used to suit this study. 1 Figure 1: Depiction of the major ocean drainage basins from www.radicalcartography.net. Light green regions drain into the Atlantic Ocean, dark green into the Arctic Ocean, purple into the Pacific Ocean, red into the Indian Ocean, brown into the Southern Ocean, blue into the Caribbean Sea and turquoise into the Mediterranean Sea.

Stanford Flathead Lake Biological Station University of Montana I. INTRODUCTION Streams, rivers, and groundwater flow pathways are the plumbing of the continents. Water coalesces and flows downhill in surface channels and subsurface pathways in response to precipitation patterns and the dynamic form of river basins (catchments). Uplift of mountain ranges, caused by continental drift and volcanism, is continually countered by erosion and deposition (sedimentation) mediated by the forces of wind and water. Catchment landscapes are formed by the long geologic and biological history of the region as well as recent events such as floods, fires, and human-caused environmental disturbances (e.g., deforestation, dams, pollution, exotic species). The term landscape is used extensively, referring generally to the collective attributes of local geography. An expansive view of a stream or river and its catchment, includ- ing natural and cultural attributes and interactions, is the “riverscape.” For a stream ecologist, a riverscape view of a catchment (river) basin encompasses the entire stream network, including interconnection with groundwater flow pathways, embedded in its terrestrial setting and flowing from the highest elevation in the catchment to the ocean, with considerable animal and human modifications of flow paths likely along the way (Fausch et al. 2002). For example, the earth’s largest catchment, the Amazon River basin, occupies over half of the South American continent.
