• Seasonal Migrations of Atlantic Sturgeon and Striped Bass Through the Maryland Wind Energy Area 

  Rothermel, Ella Rick (2019)

  Baseline information is needed on migrations through US Mid-Atlantic Bight shelf waters in advance of offshore wind development. Acoustically-tagged Atlantic sturgeon and striped bass were detected from 2016-2019 in an ...

• The effect of salinity on species survival and carbon storage on the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland due to saltwater intrusion 

  de la Reguera, Elizabeth (2019)

  As sea levels continue to rise, coastal ecosystems are vulnerable to saltwater intrusion (SWI), the landward movement of sea salts. Specifically, in coastal farmlands, we expect SWI to drive changes in plant species ...

• HYDROLOGIC DRIVERS OF SOIL ORGANIC CARBON STORAGE AND STABILITY IN FRESHWATER MINERAL WETLANDS 

  Kottkamp, Anna Isabel (2019)

  Mineral wetlands comprise most of historic wetland loss, yet few studies focus on mineral wetland soil organic carbon (SOC). We explore SOC across continuous hydrologic gradients within and among seasonally flooded mineral ...

• MODELING IMPACTS OF SUBMERSED AQUATIC VEGETATION ON SEDIMENT DYNAMICS UNDER STORM CONDITIONS IN UPPER CHESAPEAKE BAY 

  Biddle, Mathew Michael (2019)

  Submersed aquatic vegetation is an important modulator of sediment delivery from the Susquehanna River through the Susquehanna Flats into the Chesapeake Bay. However, the impact of vegetation coupled with the physical ...

• PHENOLOGY OF ESTUARINE RESPONSE TO ANTHROPOGENIC AND CLIMATE DRIVERS, A STUDY OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY AND CHESTER RIVER ESTUARIES 

  Basenback, Nicole (2019)

  The effects of nutrient loading on estuaries are well-studied, given the multitude of negative water quality, ecosystem, and economic impacts that have been attributed to the presence of excess nitrogen and phosphorous. A ...
