Elected to the Organizational Advisory Board of the Research Data Alliance.

As a historically and biologically significant feature, the Mammoth Cave System has seen many changes due to human activity that have resulted in known and unknown changes to environmental conditions present in the cave. While the historical and archaeological records reveal much about these changes, the actual environmental conditions present can be difficult to describe. In this work, multiphysics simulation is used to recreate environmental and physical conditions that may have existed before changes were made to the natural state of the cave system. In addition, simulation is used to predict what may happen if further changes are made to the system in the future. Using 3-dimensional laser-imaging detection and ranging data (LIDAR) as a geometric representation of the historic section of Mammoth Cave combined with computational fluid dynamics simulations, the current work serves to demonstrate the thermal and airflow conditions that would have been present in a former (now abandoned) bat-hibernation colony in the Vespertilio area near Audubon Avenue. The model is then extended as a preliminary indicator of the humidity and thermal impacts that maintenance of conditions conducive to bat hibernation may have on airflow patterns in and around historically significant saltpetre vats in the main section of the cave.

A tailored approach is ideal for teaching users to work
with research data, which often varies significantly
by domain and project depending on methodology,
available data sources and intended outcomes. In
this paper and presentation, three distinct contexts
will be put forth, each using Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) and focused problem-based learning
(PBL) approaches to teach research data use: primary
collection, digital data reuse and mined textual data.
In each illustration, researchers are not only working
to implement a functional methodology, but also to
engage students in practices that equip them with
theory, tools and skills to advance their own research
trajectory. Further, these examples are from researchers
in distinctly different disciplines: an architect working
on climate change in the St. Louis region, three
historians reconstructing history with data from
texts and a professor of social work collecting data
for villages in India. The Data and GIS Services (DGS)
team at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL)
has partnered with each project presented to support
analyses, visualization, management, preservation and
sharing of research data. Methods, challenges and
opportunities are discussed..

Traditional methods for surveying hibernating bats include direct counts, estimation of large
clusters, and digital photography for manual counting. These methods inherently have different advantages, disadvantages, and biases. Terrestrial light detection and ranging (T-LiDAR), technology is emerging as a potential tool for biological surveys in subterranean habitats. T-LiDAR has been used to count the number
of horseshoe bats in a Malaysian cave (Azmy et al. 2012). Researchers were able to generate a 3D model of the cave and use a detection algorithm to automatically count all roosting bats. This approach was successful only because individuals roosted singly. Many North American bats roost in tight clusters, making use of the extraction function in T-LiDAR reading software impossible. Here, we developed a proof-of-concept for using T-LiDAR scans to automate estimation of gray bats (Myotis grisescens) hibernating in Long Cave, Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky, USA. We conducted two series of TLiDAR scans: winter scans when hibernating bats were present and summer scans when bats were absent. We calculated the volumetric differences between scans at locations with bat clusters of determinable size, estimated an average volume for a single bat, and applied the result to clusters of unknown size. This method can be scaled-up to estimate the total number of hibernating gray bats in the cave. This unique model is the first time T-LiDAR has been used to automate counting of hibernating bats in North America. Refinement of this methodology should allow managers to quickly, quietly, and more accurately estimate hibernating bat populations.
