Conceptual diagram illustrating the process in which wetlands migrate during sea-level rise.
Protecting wetland migration corridors
Conceptual diagram illustrating how natural buffers can help prevent erosion and flooding in residential and urban areas.
Protective natural resources
Conceptual diagram illustrating affective water filtration methods in a residential setting.
Residential water filtration
Conceptual diagram illustrating how sea-level rise floods coastal lagoons, drowns islands, and increase coastal erosion.
Sea-level rise in Maryland's coastal bays
Conceptual diagram illustrating how shallow wells draw from unconfined weathered bedrock and deep wells from bedrock aquifers.
Shallow vs. Deep well
Conceptual diagram illustrating the affects of climate change on the habitat of striped bass in a coastal/marine ecosystem.
Squeeze Zone for Striped Bass
Conceptual diagram illustrating the specifics in vulnerability in a coastal ecosystem, more specifically, the Chesapeake Bay.
Vulnerability to sea-level rise
This conceptual diagram illustrates the components that make up habitat in an estuarine environment. The subtopics are biological habitat and food availabilty, water quality, substrate, and life history/species preferences.
Components of habitat
This conceptual diagram illustrates the different components that are being studied in the Asian oyster Environmental Impact Statement. It includes not only the life history, but the interactions with the native oyster, and cultural and economic impacts.
Components of the Asian Oyster Environment Impact…
This conceptual diagram illustrates the idea that an introduction of the Asian oyster can act as a sink or a source of disease.
Oyster disease prevalence
Diagram showing how land clearing and development in the Ngerikiil watershed is causing erosion into Airai Bay, where the sediment smothers seagrasses and corals.

This conceptual diagram illustrates the process in which higher level trophic organisms have a smaller and smaller area of habitat to occupy when environmental parameters that affect these organisms are degraded.
Habitat squeeze
This conceptual diagram illustrates the connection between the water column and the benthos. Specifically, it illustrates the connection between phytoplankton and benthic filter-feeders.
Benthic-pelagic coupling
This conceptual diagram illustrates the components of an unhealthy versus healthy ecosystem. It focuses on benthic communities in Maryland's Coastal Bays.
Healthy versus unhealthy Maryland Coastal Bays
Conceptual diagram illustrating how nutrients trigger large algae blooms, which decrease oxygen.
Algal blooms result in low oxygen
Conceptual diagram illustrating the challenges that urban development creates on coastal/marine ecosystems.
Bay encroachment
Conceptual diagram illustrating how Chesapeake Bay aquatic grasses, in general, have been declining over the last several decades due to poor water quality.
Chesapeake Bay aquatic grass distribution from…
Conceptual diagram illustrating the factors that determine the oxygen content of the tidal waters in the Chesapeake Bay.
