Horn Point Lab’s Science After Hours:
Dr. Lorie Stave presents “Tidal Marsh Restoration at Poplar Island: Maximizing Resilience”
Monday, May 7, 5:30 p.m. Tidal marshes provide critical habitat for a variety of wildlife. The loss of islands in Chesapeake Bay to erosion over the last century has reduced the area of that critical habitat. The goal of the Poplar Island project is to replace some of it using dredged material from upper Chesapeake Bay. However, there are a number of challenges in creating self-sustaining tidal marshes, especially sea level rise. This talk will focus on addressing those challenges to create more resilient marshes, and provide lessons for tidal marsh restoration throughout Chesapeake Bay and beyond.”

Thursday, May 17, 5:30 p.m. Every day so called “earth-observing satellites” operated by NASA and other international space agencies pass over the Chesapeake Bay region and acquire millions of specialized high-resolution images. These data are often freely available and, with a touch of science, can be used to track changes in land use, air and water quality at regional to global scales. With the advent and rapid commercialization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones), scientists are retrofitting these instruments to emulate the types of measurements made from space. This talk explores the technology and science of this rapidly growing field.
