After much deliberation, the FEMC has begun rescuing dozens of projects across the Northeast. Our Data Technicians have been feverishly converting files, digitizing maps, and scanning documents dating back to the 1950’s. So much valuable information! Topics range from monitoring mercury concentrations in largemouth bass to studying population trends of a harmful insect called the pear thrips to scanning rooms full of handwritten field notes from the Catskills. To learn more about the data rescue project go to Data Rescue, and read more about the project’s July highlights here.
