\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 July 25, 2008 \u2013 A partnership among 10 universities and non-governmental organizations in the Northeast and four agencies of the federal government, coordinated by the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Coastal Institute, has been recognized with a prestigious national award for excellence.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe North Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, one of 17 regional partnerships between academia and government agencies that collaborate to solve environmental problems on federal lands, received the 2008 award as the top cooperative ecosystem study unit in the country.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThis award truly highlights the importance of engaging 溏心vlog免费B站 with national and regional partners for the management of coastal ecosystems,\u201d said Peter August, director of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Coastal Institute and the leader of the North Atlantic Coast unit. \u201cThe research recognized by this award has benefited from the contributions of senior faculty, research associates, graduate students and federal scientists stationed at 溏心vlog免费B站.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tThe award recognizes work done by the partners to address coastal geology and shoreline erosion issues at national parks in the region, especially Fire Island National Seashore off Long Island and Gateway National Recreation Area in New Jersey and New York.<\/p>\n


\n\tAccording to Charles Roman, a National Park Service biologist based at 溏心vlog免费B站, the award honors a decade of work by 30 individuals who \u201ccontributed significantly to a long-term effort aimed at understanding barrier island coastal processes and applying that knowledge to management decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tScientists and students working on the project examined historic changes to barrier beach shorelines as a means of predicting future changes; developed protocols for monitoring shorelines and dunes; provided spatial analysis and GIS mapping support; studied shoreline sediments and geomorphological processes; and advised park superintendents on management strategies.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cAll of this work is aimed at examining the response of barrier islands to sea level rise, climate change, major storm events and human activities,\u201d explained Roman. \u201cThe Park Service has to make a lot of management decisions in response to these events. We want those decisions to be science based, so we rely on our academic and agency partners, who have done a tremendous job and worked well together over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\t溏心vlog免费B站’s academic and non-governmental partners in the North Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit are the City University of New York, the College of the Atlantic, Rutgers University, Stony Brook University, University of Maine-Orono, University of Maryland-Eastern Shore, University of Massachusetts-Amherst, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and the Maryland Coastal Bays Program. Federal government partners include the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Park Service, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s Natural Resources Conservation Service.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
