Project Spotlight
Land Use and Demographics
This portal combines housing density data with forest characteristics, demographic and remote sensing data to examine residential development patterns, spatial variations in forest cover and ecosystem change in NH.
Airborne
Airborne remote sensing data capture optical properties of the land surface during peak growing season and snow-covered periods, providing information on vegetation composition, canopy chemistry and surface albedo.
Maine Healthy Beaches
This study surveys recent Maine Healthy Beaches participants to better understand why individuals and organizations participate, how the program works, and obtain feedback from program participants.
Surfers, Water Quality, & Decision Making
This project investigates risk perception of water-borne pathogens among Maine and NH surfers to better understand their local environmental knowledge and if risk perception plays a role in their decision to surf.
Eddy Flux Network
The Eddy Flux Network is a network of four flux towers that use the eddy covariance method to measure carbon and water fluxes over land cover types that broadly represent the NH landscape, including forest, agriculture and developed land.
Maine and New Hampshire Beachgoer Survey
This study explores user visitation patterns, user preferences for beaches and coastal areas, perceptions of ocean water quality, and how users acquire beach safety information.
Great Bay Pathogenic Vibrio & Environmental Data
A long-term program in the Great Bay Estuary of New Hampshire has established monitoring at two sites to provide information on the monthly, bimonthly and inter-annual variability of several pathogenic strains of Vibrios.
Public Transmedia Storytelling
This dataset includes various audio, video, and photographs from a public transmedia outreach project focused on NEST's efforts in the Safe Beaches and Shellfish project.
NH Water & Watershed Survey
The New Hampshire Water and Watershed Survey project focuses on evaluating and valuing the ecosystem services (benefits from nature provided to humans) provided by New Hampshire’s watersheds.
Land Cover Scenarios
This data portal includes simulated decadal maps of NH land cover from the present to 2100 that represent a range of possible future conditions, reflecting both stakeholder perspectives and existing landscape plans and visions.
Feature Updates
What's new for the DDC?
THE FUTURE OF DAMS
The DDC will soon have available more dams data for New England. This dataset is developed by an interdisciplinary team of NEST researchers in Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
