Use of GIS technologies in addressing resource management problems in Mobile Bay, Alabama Use of GIS technologies in addressing resource management problems in Mobile Bay, Alabama
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies are being used in three neutral resource management studies of Mobile Bay, AL. Each study is briefly discussed. In the first, the GIS was used to analyze wetland habitat changes in the bay over a 25-year period. In the second, cartographic modeling techniques are being used to assess the potential impacts of contaminated sediments on...

Analysis of onsite measurements of scour at piers Analysis of onsite measurements of scour at piers
Existing onsite measurements of local scour at bridge piers were assembled and analyzed to obtain an equation that predicts the expected maximum depth of local scour at a bridge pier. A safety factor is suggested that provides a reasonable margin of error for design purposes.

Applications of satellite telemetry to wildlife research and management in Alaska Applications of satellite telemetry to wildlife research and management in Alaska
Since 1984, the Alaska Fish and Wildlife Research Center, in cooperation with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and several other agencies, has used the Argos Data Collection and Location System to address wildlife research and management problems in Alaska and other parts of North America. The use of satellite telemetry has overcome some of the logistical problems of working in...
