Description:
This project will: assess historical changes in the Blackwater River watershed on Maryland's Eastern shore for the period from 1850 to the present by creating a GIS data base of these changes; create a process based, spatially explicit ecological economic simulation model to help explain these historical changes; and project future changes under various management and climate scenarios using the model.
