Conceptual diagram illustrating the minimum amounts of oxygen that different aquatic organisms needs to survive.
Criteria for dissolved oxygen for aquatic life
Conceptual diagram illustrating the conceptual cross section of the Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifer system in southern Maryland. The cross section runs approximately northwest to southeast.
Cross section of the Atlantic Coastal Plain
Conceptual diagram illustrating an interpolated measure of chlorophyll in the Lagoon of Venice.
Dissolved chlorophyll in the Lagoon of Venice
Conceptual diagram illustrating an interpolated measure of oxygen in the Lagoon of Venice.
Dissolved oxygen in the Lagoon of Venice
Conceptual diagram illustrating the changes that occur in an underwater ecosystem as the nutrient load increases.
Effect of nutrient loading on primary producers
Conceptual diagram illustrating the world's main coastal waterways.
Global distribution of coastal waterways
Conceptual diagram illustrating the transport of groundwater in relation to the Coastal Bays, including the deposition of nutrients.
Groundwater transport in the Maryland Coastal Bays
Conceptual Diagram illustrating the components that contribute toward creating natural erosion of a shore, and further marsh creation including how sills and vents should be constructed.
Guidelines for natural shore erosion and marsh…
Conceptual diagram illustrating how fragmentation and habitat degradation interact with climate change by limiting species' ability to retreat or find refuge from rising temperatures or extreme events.
Habitat degradation and climate change
Conceptual Diagram illustrating the general requirements for seagrass and clam aquaculture. These both include sandy sediment and shallow water.
Habitat requirements of seagrass and hard clams
Conceptual diagram illustrating the elements that contribute towards a healthy lagoon that has a good balance of nutrient and biota, versus the elements of a eutrophic ecosystem, which includes increased sediment and nutrient from farming and industry, and creates for an unhealthy lagoon.
Healthy & eutrophic coastal lagoons
Conceptual diagram illustrating the elements that contribute to a healthy watershed.
Healthy waterways
Conceptual diagram illustrating how land subsidence is a major factor contributing to relative sea-level rise.
Land subsidence & sea-level rise
Conceptual diagram illustrating the complex processes in which a blue crab molts, mates, migrates, and develops eggs in the Maryland Coastal Bays.
Life cycle of the blue crab
Conceptual diagram illustrating the sources of pollution and the effective practices in managing them.
Managing pollution
Conceptual diagram illustrating the overall eutrophic condition of coastal lagoons in the early 2000's.
Map of national coastal lagoon conditions
Conceptual diagram illustrating the differences in how barrier islands are formed along the shore. The structure of the island depends mainly on the balance between wave and tide energy.
Morphology of different barrier islands
Conceptual diagram illustrating a mathematical model which represents nitrogen inputs and exports in coastal bays.
Nitrogen exchange in a coastal bay
Conceptual diagram illustrating the methodology in analyzing the nitrogen in a water source using macroalgae as a bioindicator.
Nitrogen stable isotope methodology
Conceptual diagram illustrating the differences between surfaces that allow groundwater flow, and surfaces that restrict it, and how each affects groundwater quality.
Pervious vs. impervious surfaces
Conceptual diagram illustrating the factors that influence how much light is absorbed by seagrass. This includes phytoplankton, organic matter, suspended sediment, and the epiphytes that grow on the seagrass.
Relative light attenuation for seagrass
Conceptual diagram illustrating the universal causes and effects of sea-level rise.
Relative sea-level rise
Conceptual diagram illustrating an interpolated measure of salinity of the Lagoon of Venice.
Salinity of the Lagoon of Venice
Conceptual diagram illustrating how sea-level rise creates mainland-fringing marshland, as well as how it affects existing marshes.
