UF Water Symposium will include CCS-organized program on coastal water quality monitoring, modeling, management, and policy
For the 8th UF Water Institute Symposium, the CCS has organized a program of sessions and panels that explore what the future of coastal water quality monitoring, modeling, management, and policy should/could look like from a technological, scientific and engineering perspective, as well as through a management and policy lens.
Changing the Channel: Navigating Toward Self-Mitigation
As part of the Fall 2021 Coastal Policy Lab, a partnership between Florida Sea Grant, the University of Florida Conservation Clinic at the Levin College of Law and the CCS in the College of Engineering, faculty and students investigated the potential to mitigate the impacts of repetitive maintenance dredging by using more efficient channel designs.
CCS to develop web-based water quality dashboard for Charlotte Harbor
In partnership with the Coastal & Heartland National Estuary Program (CHNEP), CCS will analyze water quality trends and develop a web-based data visualization dashboard for the CHNEP Water Atlas. The public-facing Shiny dashboard will allow users to explore water quality… Read More
New CCS postdoc Dr. Hithaishi Hewageegana will develop a hydrodynamic model of the Caloosahatchee River estuary to predict harmful algal blooms
Hithaishi will be working alongside Dr. Maitane Olabarrieta and CCS-affiliated colleagues to understand how flow and nutrients from Lake Okeechobee and the Caloosahatchee River Watershed will impact the coastal water quality and the generation of harmful algal blooms.
CCS awarded $3M US Army Corps project to enhance Engineering With Nature® design and implementation in coastal systems
This project, funded through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering With Nature initiative, will advance understanding of how and why coastal landforms, including dunes, salt marshes, and oyster reefs, are evolving through innovative coastal sensing, modeling, and experimental research.… Read More
Dr. Enrique Orozco López joins CCS as a postdoctoral research fellow studying watershed impacts on coastal water quality
Along with Dr. David Kaplan and a team of CCS-affiliated scientists, Enrique is investigating how water and nutrients from Lake Okeechobee and the Caloosahatchee River Watershed impact coastal water quality resulting in frequent harmful algal blooms.
