Title: CNS Webinar: Sustainable Lake Management in Maine's Changing Landscape
Date: July 01, 2009
Location: Webinar 2:00 - 3:00pm Eastern Time
Purpose: The project focuses on the development of sustainable lake management strategies in Maines changing landscape. By providing mechanisms to track and anticipate new residential development and to delineate the impacts of such development on lake ecosystems and their service flows, the proposed research advances scientific understanding and fills significant information gaps. By demonstrating how such information and spatial modeling tools may be used to consider alternative futures, the proposed project also allows for proactive, collaborative management strategies to sustain the quality and enjoyment of Maine lakes.

This talk is offered as part of the webinar series for the Collaborative Science and Technology Network for Sustainability (CNS). CNS is an EPA grant program offered through the National Center for Environmental Research (NCER) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program that supports collaboration between science and engineering researchers and decision-makers to pursue regional sustainability. Project teams take a systems approach to application areas including land use planning and smart growth; materials management; water resources management; regional energy management; and future scenarios. Scientific contributions include modeling, data collection and analysis, indicator development, and technology innovation. The purpose of this webinar series is to offer input into these ongoing projects and identify opportunities to transfer lessons learned. More information on the CNS program is available at http://epa.gov/ncer/cns. Slides from the webinar series and the schedule of upcoming talks are posted at the Collaborative Science and Technology Network for Sustainability science connector page accessible at: http://portal.epa.gov/ESC.
