Spatial characterization of environmental gradients in a coastal lagoon, Chincoteague Bay
Allen T, Tolvanen H, Oertel G, McLeod G. 2007. Spatial characterization of environmental gradients in a coastal lagoon, Chincoteague Bay. Estuaries and Coasts. 30(6):959-977
The project documents the development of an estuarine geographic information system that can be used to analyze and compare estuarine environments and provide data for environmental decision making. It analyzes major abiotic environmental processes, evaluates accuracy and spatial uncertainty, and analyzes potential zonation within the choked coastal lagoon of Chincoteague Bay.
