The project looked at mature stands of wood to see the relationship between forest type and the soil types on which they grow in Northern Maine.

The project's goal was to answer the following spatial questions: What counties had the highest and lowest number of moose and deer collisions? Where in Maine do moose and deer collisions happen more or less in relation to each other? Which types of roads have the highest reported collisions? We also compared the frequency of accidents relative to human population.

The purpose of our project was to locate and identify rare habitat types at the highest risk for human development.

This was an analysis of crash location and density for Aroostook County.

The objective of this research was to locate areas suitable for installation of commercial wind turbines based on elevation and legal setbacks within Fort Kent.

This study examined if season of year or road conditions influenced vehicle-moose collisions on three highways in Aroostook County, Maine.

This is a prototype flood prediction model where the users locates an ice jams, inputs its height, and a contour map of the potential flood zone is rendered.

Using habitat data, areas of favorable Atlantic Salmon habitat were located then used to find other sites with similar habitat quality.

A literature review suggested the habitat requirements for Canada Lynx. The students used GIS to modify and create data layers (elevation, wetlands, and vegetation) to select desirable habitat and predict potential habitat for Canada Lynx.

Using Maine DOT data, the students analyzed motor vehicle accidents involving deer in 2000 and 2005. Analysis involved factors such as time of day, road conditions and weather, to check their influence on the cause of accidents with deer.

This study examined the frequency of moose accidents in Aroostook County relative to location, time of year, road surface conditions, and weather and light conditions. The map shown illustrates moose collisions in 2005 during different weather conditions.

The study was an analysis of bald eagle habitat. It examined distance to waterbodies and the human population within the area of bald eagle nests. The findings in Penobscot County were then projected to Aroostook County to locate desirable eagle habitat.
