"How To" Guide to the Digital Atlas for Physical & Biogeochemical Conditions in Chesapeake Bay

In MACAN's September webinar, Pierre St-Laurent (Virginia Institute of Marine Science) guides us through the new "Digital Atlas for Physical and Biogeochemical Conditions in the Chesapeake Bay." Learn how local stakeholders, managers, students and researchers can effectively use four decades of information about the carbonate chemistry, biogeochemistry and hydrodynamics of the Chesapeake Bay with software programs QGIS, Python, R, and Matlab. Pierre's tutorial walks through the creation of new visualizations from the NetCDF archive as well as a few real-life applications including: net calcification for the Eastern Oyster, Seasonality of Carbonate Chemistry, Habitat Suitability Index for Sand Bar Sharks, and Total Alkalinity along Transects of Chesapeake Bay tributaries.
