Bald Hill Pond field data compilation using ArcGIS field maps
Abstract
Vermont has more than 800 inland lakes with disparate monitoring data across several organizations and projects. Compiling this data is a challenge but can be an asset for comparisons across space and time. In this project, we aimed to use ArcGIS Field Maps to create an accessible tool for data input and spatial display for Bald Hill Pond. Submission forms are designed so that site locations, plant identification, and more can be input in the field or after collection. Data is acquired from the Vermont Geodata Portal, Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, and the Vermont Limnology Lab.
