Conceptual diagram illustrating the groundwater flow, and related processes based on season and precipitation in the Delmarva area.
Seasonal water table
conceptual diagram illustrating a typical residential septic system.
Septic system
Conceptual Diagram illustrating the elements of a soft shoreline and how they can benefit a habitat, versus the elements of a hard shoreline that offer few benefits towards a habitat, and in some cases can be damaging.
Soft vs. hard shorelines
Conceptual diagram illustrating the differences between habitats in natural streams versus man-made ditches including the vegetation, water temperature, and the relative debris that contribute toward a habitat.
Stream habitat vs. ditch habitat
Conceptual diagram that illustrates the elements that contribute to a enviromentally sustainable community versus an unmanaged, unsustainable community.
sustainable vs. unsustainable communities
Conceptual diagram illustrating the 'Brunn rule', which is used to predict the landward movement of the shoreline relative to sea-level rise. This consists of developing an 'equilibrium profile' for the shoreface, which is shaped by the gradual release of wave energy approaching the shore.
The 'Brunn rule'
Conceptual diagram illustrating the carbon cycle relative to waterways, and the organisms that live there.
The carbon cycle
Conceptual diagram illustrating the clean water train, used to help visualize the concepts of managing a healthy water source.
The clean water act
Conceptual diagram illustrating the shoreline change of Fenwick and Assateague Island since 1850.
The evolution of Assateague Fenwick & Assateague…
Conceptual diagram illustrating an American eel's life cycle based in the coastal bays of Maryland.
The life cycle of the american eel
Conceptual diagram illustrating the life cycle of the summer flounder in the Maryland Coastal Bays.
The life cycle of the summer flounder
Conceptual diagram illustrating the nitrogen cycle, relative to waterways. The nitrogen cycle is very complex and involves many transformations.
The nitrogen cycle
Conceptual diagram illustrating the inputs and processes that are a part of the phosphorus cycle.
The phosphorus cycle
Conceptual diagram illustrating the different types of waterways attached to the coast.
Types of coastal waterways
Conceptual diagram illustrating the process in which wastewater is treated by sewage treatment systems versus traditional and advanced septic systems.
Wastewater treatment
Conceptual diagram illustrating the long term restoration goals in the Chesapeake Bay, USA.
Chesapeake Bay restoration goals
Conceptual diagram illustrating the drivers of the water cycle when affected by some water quality impacts.
Climate change and the water cycle
Conceptual diagram illustrating the factors that drive the local climate change.
Climate drivers
Conceptual diagram illustrating how climate change affects human health.
Climate impacts on human health
Conceptual diagram illustrating the short term and long term impacts from sea-level rise.
Flooding vs. inundation
Conceptual diagram illustrating how sea-level rise affects many aspects of a resource-based industry.
How sea-level rise affects the community
Conceptual Diagram illustrating the process that creates low oxygen levels in an estuary.
Hypoxia
Conceptual diagram illustrating how the filtration capacity of a natural system is much larger.
Natural versus impervious water filtration
Conceptual diagram illustrating the five regions of Maryland based on temperature.
Physiographic Regions of Maryland
