2006

The central goal is to integrate scientific resources and understanding so as to enable rapid and effective response to episodic natural or accidental hazards, such as severe storms, harmful algal blooms or toxic spills as well as potential terrorist threats. At the same time, it is intended that by establishing a robust environmental monitoring system in the lower Chesapeake Bay that provides long time series of flows, waves, water levels, water quality and water borne pollutants, pathogens and toxins, we will gain new understandings of complex phenomena while providing operational users with a valuable source of timely information relevant to safety and environmental stewardship. For addressing specific Navy needs, we also aim to provide the Navy with a portable suite of sensors, models and informatics techniques for detection, diagnosis, and predictions of manmade and natural water-borne hazards and threats, including intrusions, water-borne pollutants, pathogens and toxins in ports, bays and littoral waters.
