Strategies for integrating long-term air and water monitoring at Acadia National Park
Gawley WG, Wiggin SP, O’Neil KM. 2018. Strategies for integrating long-term air and water monitoring at Acadia National Park. National Park Service, Acadia National Park
From the abstract: "Acadia National Park (ANP) has been fortunate to participate in several long term air and water monitoring programs dating back to the early 1980s. More recent efforts, such as the NPS Vital Signs Inventory and Monitoring Program (I&M Program), are approaching 12 years of data collection. Still later projects, the Jordan Pond Water Quality Project, and the Wild Acadia Program, have introduced continuous data collection and watershed-focused investigations into the mix. Park natural resource managers are investigating approaches to better integrate both the workflow and findings of these various programs in order to enhance their ability to determine status and trends, detect abnormal conditions, and better understand the dynamic nature of park ecosystems."
