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

UF Water Institute Distinguished Faculty Fellow Seminar

Yale Climate Connections radio story airing featuring Christine Angelini: “A burrowing crab is speeding destruction of coastal salt marshes”

The FDEP Florida Resilient Coastlines Quarterly Webinar will be livestreamed at 9am EST. Please click the headline above to reach the registration link.

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.

Dr. Smyth featured in Mission Unstoppable with Miranda Cosgrove on CBS, which celebrates women who have become superstars in STEM-related careers.

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.

“Restore or retreat? saltwater intrusion and water management in coastal wetlands” co-written by Elliott White and David Kaplan was selected as one of the “Top-10 Most Cited Articles” published in Ecosystem Health and Sustainability from 2015-2020. 

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.
