KnowledgeBase gets face lift

March 2010 - KnowledgeBase, an online repository of bibliographic records and data related to the environment in Maine and northern New England, got a face lift this month.

Yellahoose planned and managed the graphic design redo. Project partner Gordon Holman of SlickFish Studios produced the new art work. After review by Dr. Peter Vaux and team at the Mitchell Center for Environmental and Watershed Research, and some minor tweaks, Yellahoose implemented the new skin on the existing website.



The new graphic design is meant to be flexible -- more easily accommodating new data portals, themes features being working on now for implementation later this year. (Stay tuned for these!)

We like the look of the new site a lot!

Yellahoose chosen to build data visualization tools for Upper Merrimack River Local Advisory Committee

March 2010 - The Upper Merrimack River Local Advisory Committee (UMRLAC) has chosen Yellahoose to build database management, web mapping and data visualization tools for its volunteer river monitoring program.

Since 1995 UMRLAC's Upper Merrimack Monitoring Program (UMMP) has monitored bacteria (E.coli), insects and other indicators in eleven sampling sites throughout the Merrimack River watershed, including on the Pemigewasset, Winnipesaukee, Contoocook and Merrimack Rivers, to gauge and track long-term trends in water quality in the watershed. Volunteers collecting site data are trained by NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) and Merrimack River Watershed Council (MWRC).

These new data, mapping and visualization tools will be launched on the www.MerrimackRiver.org in spring 2010.
