Dataset: Marsh Migration Methodology Development For Wetland Restoration Targeting, Molly Mitchell, Karinna Nunez, Christine Tombleson, Julie Herman
Data
Coastal marsh loss is a significant issue globally, due in part to rising sea levels and high levels of coastal human activity. Marshes have natural mechanisms to allow them to adapt to rising sea levels, however, migration across the landscape is one of those mechanisms and is frequently in conflict with human use of the shoreline. Ensuring the persistence of marshes into the future requires an understanding of where marshes are likely to migrate under sea level rise and targeting those areas for conservation and preservation activities. The goal of this project was to 1) compile existing datasets and information …

Data
This data is a portion of the data included in the Elizabeth River Environmental Justice Tool (https://cmap22.vims.edu/EREJTool/) The Elizabeth River Environmental Justice map viewer contains a variety of layers that will help planners target vulnerable locations and populations within the Elizabeth River Watershed. This data was developed specifically to support the Elizabeth River Project’s decision making in this region.
Road Accessibility From County Seat Under Flooding: Middle Peninsula, Northern Neck, Southside, Molly Mitchell, Jessica Hendricks, Daniel Schatt, Marcia Berman
Road Accessibility From County Seat Under Flooding: Middle Peninsula, Northern Neck, Southside, Molly Mitchell, Jessica Hendricks, Daniel Schatt, Marcia Berman
Data
The impacts of recurrent flooding on roadways present challenging social and economic considerations for all coastal jurisdictions. Maintenance, public and private accessibility, evacuation routes, and emergency services are just a few of the common themes local governments are beginning to address for low-lying roadways currently known to flood. The project implements a protocol developed by CCRM to analyze the level at which road flooding may impact communities and their ability to reach key locations at periodic intervals; through the year 2100 in coastal Virginia. Using a network analysis, road accessibility is evaluated at different levels of flooding (at 0.1 meter …
Dataset: Baywide Distribution Of Benthic Ecological Functions In The Past Decades In The Chesapeake Bay, Philip Ignatoff, Xun Cai, Kara Gadeken
Dataset: Baywide Distribution Of Benthic Ecological Functions In The Past Decades In The Chesapeake Bay, Philip Ignatoff, Xun Cai, Kara Gadeken
Data
We undertook the collection and analysis of long-term benthos data from the Chesapeake Bay Benthic Monitoring Plan. Multiple ecological function traits related to feeding and disturbance were assigned to each observed benthic species based on a thorough literature review. The spatial distributions of the ecological function groups will be utilized in a 3D hydrodynamic biogeochemistry model simulation. This approach aids in estimating the contributions of benthos to estuarine hypoxia and nutrient dynamics. Furthermore, it fosters a connection between ecologists and modelers, promoting collaborative efforts in understanding and modeling the ecosystem.
