Ecosystem Dynamics & Trends Across Seven National Estuarine Research Reserves

Ecosystem Dynamics & Trends Across Seven National Estuarine Research Reserves

DescriptionReinl symposium thumbnail

The National Estuarine Research Reserve System has amassed decades of data points through its System-Wide Monitoring Program (SWMP) for studying environmental change across a variety of estuarine systems but Reserves have struggled with limited capacity to analyze these data. To address this need, graduate student teams from the University of Wisconsin-Madison partnered with seven National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs) to answer science and management questions using big data skills to analyze SWMP data. During this symposium, students shared their findings and highlight this unique approach to increasing Reserve capacity to analyze SWMP data.
