Identifying the effects of chronic saltwater intrusion in coastal floodplain swamps using remote sensing

UF Center for Coastal Solutions and Florida Sea Grant announce a new 12-month coastal policy analyst opportunity to advance the development and implementation of science-based coastal policy in Florida.

Dr. Paul Gader will discuss some of the inherent and difficult flaws in current Artificial Intelligence practices and use examples from environmental sensing to identify methods for mitigating those flaws.

Altieri and co-authors suggest that a community and ecosystems perspective that integrates knowledge of organismal physiology with species interactions can reveal new insights into ecological feedbacks and the potential mechanisms that underlie the resilience of tropical ecosystems to deoxygenation.

Human activities are resetting which species hold the most sway over ecosystem behavior, says Christine Angelini, principal investigator for the study. Because of overfishing and climate change, purple marsh crabs are “wreaking havoc everywhere” across their range

“The pines, oaks, cedars and palms have this orderly trajectory of death based on who can hack it in a saline environment and who can’t” – David Kaplan, CCS.

Thought leaders and industry experts gathered virtually to help envision new technologies and applications to measure, communicate and mitigate negative coastal impacts. Summary of summit and discussions:
