    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.

During the past decade, HWA has been associated with widespread, severe decline and mortality of eastern hem- lock (T. canadensis) trees. The insect also debilitates Carolina hemlock (T. caroliniana), the other hemlock species native to the eastern United States. The geograph- ic range of Carolina hemlock is limited to the southern- most Appalachian Mountains, which has just recently been infested by HWA. Examples of National Park System areas affected by HWA include Great Smoky Mountains and Shenandoah National Parks, New River Gorge National River, Catoctin Mountain Park, and Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Eastern hemlock is an ecologically important and influ- ential conifer that for thousands of years was a major component of forests over much of the eastern United States.

Delaware River Basin Commission, DRBC/NPS Scenic Rivers Monitoring Program, West Trenton, NJ. Authors: Robert Limbeck, Eric Wentz, Erik Silldorff, John Yagecic, Thomas Fikslin, Namsoo Suk. Delaware River Basin Commission Page 1 Executive Summary Introduction: The Lower Delaware is a 76-mile reach of the Delaware River extending from just below the Delaware Water Gap at Portland, PA (River Mile 209.5) to Calhoun Street Bridge at Trenton, NJ (River Mile 134.3). In 2000, federal legislation was enacted adding key segments of the Lower Delaware and selected tributaries to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. This designation was followed in April 2001 with a petition to DRBC from the Delaware Riverkeeper Network to classify the Lower Delaware as Special Protection Waters (SPW). In 2008, the DRBC by unanimous vote (DRBC 2008) added the Lower Delaware to Special Protection Waters as Significant Resource Waters, and adopted Existing Water Quality definitions for specific control points. In partnership with the National Park Service (NPS), the Delaware River Basin Commission established the Scenic Rivers Monitoring Program (SRMP) to define the water quality for this reach of the river and assess any measurable changes to these high quality waters.

    Vanderpoel-De Hooges-Post-Bradt

    Chapter X: VanderPoel-De Hooges-Post-Bradt Last Revised: October 29, 2014 Ironically, we may know more about Abraham Vanderpool’s Dutch ancestors than we do about him. Because he was born in Albany, New York, we are able to forge a solid link between our Abraham born in 1709 (and, by extension, the Indiana Vanderpools) and the parent Vanderpool family of New York – and so the Dutch community there. Unusually rich information exists about the Vanderpool family and its associated families in New York, extending back to the earliest settlement of New Netherland (as it was called before the English conquest in 1664). Some of what we know comes from several published Vanderpool family histories, some from an excellent network of Vanderpool researchers, and some from documentary and scholarly sources, including the New Netherland Project in the New York State Archives. 1 Indeed, the Vanderpool line as a whole may be not only the lengthiest documented line in our entire family but the best- documented of all these lines as well. Because the half-century of Dutch dominion in what is now New York State and surrounding areas is not so well known today, it may be useful to profile here the major features of that era as a context for our discussion of the Vanderpools and their family 1 This heroic project is endeavoring to translate into English and make accessible all the surviving records (written in old Dutch, of course) relating to New Netherland. Some of the records from New Netherland were damaged or destroyed in a fire in the New York State Capitol Building in 1911.
