Revisiting Coastal Land-Water Interactions: The Triblet Connection

May 23, 2018 - May 24, 2018
Frederick, MD

This workshop, tentatively titled “Revisiting Coastal Land-Water Interactions: The Triblet Connection,” is sponsored by the Chesapeake Bay Program’s Scientific Technical Advisory Committee (CBP STAC), the Center for Coastal and Watershed Sciences at Hood College, and The Nature Conservancy. We will convene the two-day forum on May 23-24, 2018, at Hood College in Frederick, MD.

The workshop is designed to explore land-water interactions in small tributaries (or “triblets”) of the Chesapeake Bay. Our intent is to combine our advancing, finer-scale knowledge of estuarine circulation, watershed discharge, and water quality trends to:

  1. Identify those triblets which have a disproportionate impact upon Bay resources of concern;
  2. Improve predictions of Bay health responses to land and water management; and
  3. Identify critical information/research gaps that limit capacity to provide reliable decision support to coastal resource managers.

We anticipate that the workshop will spark future research collaborations as well as provide guidance to the CBP partnership.
