Hydrographic and sub-surface mapping and sediment transport modeling

Links to Other Tampa Bay Research
|
| These investigations are directly linked to: |
- classifying present day benthic environments, including sea grass density and extent;
- water quality issues and transport of contaminated sediments; and
- understanding the geological evolution and recent historical sediment accumulations of the bay.
|
| In summary, this research will help address three major issues in Tampa Bay: |
- status and health of sea grass beds,
- freshwater water input and quality, and
- transport and predictive modeling of contaminated sediments.
