A water quality barometer for Chesapeake Bay: Assessing spatial and temporal patterns using long-term monitoring data

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2022
This paper develops a barometer that indexes water quality in the Chesapeake Bay and summarizes quality over spatial regions and temporal periods. The barometer has a basis in risk assessment and hydrology, and is a function of three different metrics of

Polymict melt‐bearing breccia dikes in the Morokweng impact structure formed by slip‐induced mechanical mixing of pseudotachylite and cataclasite along large‐displacement impact faults

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A core drilled through shocked and faulted Archean granitoid gneisses and dolerites in the eroded peak ring of the 70–80 km diameter Morokweng impact structure intersects multiple centimeter‐ to meter‐wide clastic‐matrix breccias containing a polymict clast population of lithic and mineral clasts and altered, millimeter‐ to centimeter ‐size ...

Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Tributary‐scale oyster reef restoration in Harris Creek, Maryland: lessons from a decade of planning, implementing, and monitoring

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In response to the decline of eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) populations in Chesapeake Bay, a large‐scale restoration initiative was launched in Harris Creek, Maryland, in 2011. This effort marked a shift from fragmented projects toward a coordinated, sanctuary‐based approach to oyster restoration.

The non-linear, naturally oscillating pattern of sea-levels in the Chesapeake Bay, East Coast, USA

open access: yesNonlinear Engineering, 2013
The sea level rise of the Chesapeake Bay region of the East Coast of the United States is claimed to be greater than the worldwide rate, where this latter is assumed to be given by the short term satellite global mean sea level computation. These

Recurrence Rates for Mandibular Fibrosarcoma Associated With Mandibular Canal Invasion Following Mandibulectomy Procedures in Dogs

open access: yesVeterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oral fibrosarcoma is a highly invasive tumour with local recurrence rates of up to 57.9% following surgical excision. The optimal surgical margins for long‐term local control of oral fibrosarcoma have not been ascertained, especially when tumour invasion into the mandibular canal is present.
