Description

The USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center (WARC), is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in coastal ecosystem hydrodynamic and water quality modeling in support of coastal ecosystem restoration. The project will develop an innovative, high spatial resolution, process-driven coupled hydrodynamic and water quality modeling system to assess and predict outcomes of coastal restoration on estuarine water quality under scenarios of climate change and sea-level rise. This project will enable regional scientists, coastal restoration planners and resource managers to better understand the processes and mechanisms controlling water quality and nutrient transport in canals and adjacent wetlands under the various environmental conditions and assist ecosystem-based decision-making and adaptive management.
