Columbia River estuary and plume
A nowcast-forecast system for estuarine and coastal water quality for Portuguese coastal systems
Development and Application of Coupled Hydrodynamicand Water Quality Models in the Chesapeake Bay Region
The Chesapeake Bay and the Coastal Bays of the Maryland/Virginia Atlantic shore are highly valuable and productive ecosystems that are increasingly threatened by degraded water quality and loss of habitat due to both anthropogenic and natural disturbances.
In an effort to reverse this trend, federal and state governments have implemented a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program to control point source and non-point source pollution in each watershed.
In order to quantify these controls and better understand cause and effect relationships, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science is developing numerical hydrodynamic and water quality models and linking them together as a tool for predicting and measuring success of the TMDL effort.
Virginia Institute of Marine Science is involved in two TMDL projects in the Chesapeake Bay region:
- TMDL scenario development and implementation for the Maryland and Virginia Coastal Bays system.
- Impact on localized water quality resulting from allocation of nutrient loads to dredged material contaminant facilities in Baltimore Harbor.
Both projects involve coupling SELFE and ICM (Integrated Compartment Model).
