Document Details

This talk will provide perspectives on aquatic ecosystem stress responses acquired from 40+ years of field experiences in inland, estuarine, and coastal waters. Increasing, our study units are expressing multiple stressors and accelerated rates of ecosystem response. I'll use several examples from larger scale, synoptic studies using remote sensing to examine salt marshes, algal blooms, and fates of suspended sediments. Finally, I'll emphasize the value of place-based, local knowledge and talking with the stake-holders experiencing changes in aquatic systems.
