Environmental Geoscience spread in the WHCMSC GIP 191

Research by the Environmental Geoscience group at the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center is focused on key ecosystem functions and drivers of ecosystem change. Knowledge gained through field work is used to model and map the effects of changing environmental conditions caused by sea-level rise and climate change, as well as the effects of expanding coastal infrastructure on critical ecosystems. The group provides data, products, and decision support to Federal, State, and local organizations and individuals tasked with managing these vital ecosystems to support their future resilience.
