Latest CEMML Stories

On Guam, NPS and CEMML work together to curb one of “world’s worst” invasive species
Who knew such a small creature could be so destructive? The National Parks Service and CEMML, that’s who. The removal of the highly invasive little fire ant on Guam is key to a multi-agency program to restore native ecosystems and rare forest birds. The ant’s presence on Guam is detrimental to rare birds as it destroys avian food sources such as insects and larvae.

CEMML develops massive map for military training exercise
For a recent large-scale training event at the Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, an equally large-scale map was needed to facilitate the training work. CEMML staff were called upon to deliver a 49-foot by 26-foot map of three Army training areas near Fairbanks. Despite tight deadlines, CEMML staff from multiple Alaskan installations came together to assemble the map just in time for the training.
