Northeast Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative

The U.S. Geological Survey’s Eastern Ecological Science Center is home to the Northeast Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (NEARMI), one of 7 ARMI regions across the United States. NEARMI works on public lands in thirteen states from Maine to Virginia, including many National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges.
Dr. Evan H. Campbell Grant coordinates ARMI activities in the Northeast by conducting and developing amphibian research and monitoring projects. Research by NEARMI staff at the US Geological Survey's Eastern Ecological Science Center provides public land managers (like the National Park Service and US Fish and Wildlife Service) information they need on the current status of amphibians, how amphibian distributions have change or are expected to change over time, and threats to populations. Data from the Northeast is also used collaboratively to evaluate questions about amphibian declines, threats, and changes over time at larger spatial scales.
NEARMI works to provide timely science not only about common, widespread species, but also to assist with conservation of species at risk and those being evaluated for listing under the Endangered Species Act. Work on these species may include field surveys, data analysis, or decision support for local managers. Many NEARMI projects are long-term collaborations and involve decision science, a set of tools and techniques for evaluating multiple goals and unknowns to aid resource management decisions.
