Project Title: Chatiemac Lake: Bathymetric Mapping and Spatial Analysis

Project Summary:

Chatiemac Lake is the second highest lake (2300’ elevation) in the Adirondack Mountains, ultimately flowing into the Hudson River. The lake lies within the Adirondack Park, and is privately owned and managed by the Chatiemac Club. The club is interested in monitoring and maintaining the excellent water quality of the lake, but they are lacking some basic information that is useful to lake management. The objectives of this project were to: 1) map and spatially analyze water depths to create a bathymetric map, and 2) collect water quality variables (physical, chemical, and biological) to assess the ecological health of the lake. Assisted by site host and boat captain (Dr. Chuck Seifert) and project mentor (Dr. Mary Beth Kolozsvary), Daniel Johnson traversed the lake to collect georeferenced depth data using a handheld GPS unit and depth finder. He collected a total of 400 depth points, and also collected temperature and dissolved oxygen profiles at the deepest point of two sub-basins. He evaluated the quality of depth points (depth and location), point by point, and then used qGIS to develop a draft bathymetric map of the lake. He is currently using advanced spatial mapping software (ArcGIS) to refine the map. The final version of the map and water quality data will be shared with the Chatiemac Lake Club.

Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) and Forest Pest Surveys

1. Work with stewardship staff on Hemlock Wooly Adelgid spread in the region.
2. Create an iMap account that will be used to identify possible detections of HWA.
3. Become familiar with other forest pests such as Elongated Hemlock Scale, Beech Leaf Disease
(BLD), Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), Dispar Moth, and Spotted Lanternfly (SLF) to help with early
detection and rapid response surveys.
4. Work with park staff, our partners, and volunteers to coordinate survey efforts
5. Use GPS device provided to create maps to highlight areas surveyed, including the makeup of
ash stands found within our parks that could help expedite EAB surveys moving forward
6. Present maps and summary on results to natural resource staff
