| Chesapeake Bay Environmental Observatory ~ An interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, ecologists, oceanographers and environmental engineers are developing and deploying a Chesapeake Bay Environmental Observatory (CBEO) to demonstrate the transformative power of cyberinfrastucture (CI). Details
COSEE-Costal Ocean Science Education ~ COSEE Coastal Trends, part of the national Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) network, aims to establish pathways and opportunities linking science and education. Details Hypoxia Modeling ~ This project will produce robust science-based predictive tools readily implemented for any coastal system to simulate ecological responses to climate and nutrient input management. Details SAV Restoration ~ Our objectives are to apply recently developed protocols for propagating and transplanting two historically important SAV species, Potamogeton perfoliatus and Stuckenia pectinata, in representative mesohaline regions of Chesapeake Bay. Details Corsica River ~ A model will be used to generate nutrient and organic carbon budgets for the Corsica/Chester estuarine system, and to consider scenarios related to nutrient management plans. Details SAV Biogeochemistry ~ The overall objective of this study is to quantify and model ecological feedback effects whereby beds of seagrasses and other submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) enhance water quality and sediment conditions across a range of scales in ways that promote improved growth and survival of plants.
