Clearing Blackwaters: Detecting Saltwater Intrusion in Coastal Blackwater Rivers using Optical Imagery
REMOTE SENSING OF RIVERS, LAKES, RESERVOIRS, AND WETLANDS VI POSTER
hydrology | 13 december 2024
Spencer Rhea, Emily S. Bernhardt
Sea level rise and drought cause saltwater to move upstream into freshwater ecosystems. Because of a lack of in-situ salinity data in many coastal riv...

A Novel Approach to Assess Spatial and Temporal Variability of Contaminant Mixtures in Urbanized Waterways: Contaminant Source Indicators and PFAS
FRONTIERS IN WATER QUALITY II POSTER
hydrology | 13 december 2024
Jonathan Behrens, Emily S. Bernhardt
Thousands of novel and legacy chemical contaminants persist in urban waterways but are time and cost prohibitive to completely monitor. Thus, identify...
