CRC Roundtable is a monthly virtual seminar series, to host targeted, inclusive, and informed conversations matching scientific advances and management needs in a way that moves us collectively forward toward decision-making for effective and sustainable management of the Chesapeake Bay, its watershed, and its living resources.

The lunchtime seminars invites a diverse range of researchers, managers, and other professionals to have timely conversations around topics relevant to the Chesapeake partnership. The seminars are designed to promote contribution, not just consumption, of information with short presentations followed by facilitated discussion among attendees.They provide a place for participants to “ask the clumsy questions”. The seminars also build connectivity across participating organizations and identify ways to increase our collective competency for decision making.

 

We are pleased to announce that the Roundtable webinar series has won a Gold in the 2023 Hermes Creative Awards in the Interactive Media category! Thanks to all of the presenters and participants over the past two years who have made the Roundtable such an informative and engaging space!

 

The CRC Roundtable is supported in part by
the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office.

It’s All About Carbon: Coastal Cycling and Forest Function

CRC Member Take-Over Series: Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC)

Wednesday, May 15th, 12:00 – 1:00 pm

Carbon is both the cause and the source of potential mitigation of our changing climate. Research on carbon cycling has implications for policy and the resilience of our communities. Blue carbon ecosystems—tidal marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses—and forests are key ecosystems that sequester carbon. Learn about blue and green carbon research and relevant policy implications from researchers at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center’s Biogeochemistry Lab and BiodiversiTREE project.

Join us on Wednesday, May 15th from 12-1 pm for a CRC member institution “take over” of the CRC Roundtable by SERC.

Moderator:

  • Tuck Hines, CRC Board Member & Director of SERC

Speakers:

  • Patrick Megonigal, Associate Director for Research, Principal Investigator, SERC

  • John Parker, Principal Investigator, Senior Scientist, SERC
