Scallops in context: bottom mapping and underwater imaging (February 8, 2008) Dr. Stephen Smith's research focuses on the design and application of surveys for marine populations, population dynamics models, and spatial analysis of species distribution as a function of the oceanographic and geologic characteristics of their environment. Smith has been at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography since 1979. |

How submerged vegetation impacts flow and transport in rivers (March 14, 2008) Heidi Nepf, Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology describes how submerged vegetation in a river channel creates zones of slow flow that may contribute to hydrologic storage and nutrient retention. Her talk develops a physical model to predict the retention time-scale associated with submerged vegetation. |
