A Conceptual Model for Integrated Coastal Management in the Gulf of Mexico: Ecosystem Approach for Sustainable Development of Critical Areas

The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is a shared resource at risk, with the following major problems: (a) freshwater use and shortage, (b) pollution, (c) habitat modifications, (d) unsustainable development of living resources, (e) global change e.g., sea level rise, temperature ...

Project

A Model of Ecological Connections Among the Microbes, Animals, and Plants of Apalachicola Bay

This project will address changes to the water environment of the bay like those that may be caused by a reduction in quality and quantity of water delivered to it. Florida's Apalachicola River receives its water from Georgia and Alabama. ...

Project

A Modeling Study of Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Circulation, Ventilation, and Transport

Deepwater leasing is advancing at an accelerated pace. This pace fueled by technological advances (extended drilling, 3-D seismic, enhanced computer and graphic capabilities), new geological provinces (sub-salt plays and deepwater), and the Deepwater Royalty Relief Act. We expect deepwater exploration ...
