Developing a Database for Ecosystem Service Models聽
麻豆传媒 scientists have been major developers and contributors to the online U.S. Environmental Protection Agency鈥檚 EcoService Models Library (ESML) database since its inception in 2012. The ESML database contains detailed but concise descriptions of ecosystem service models to facilitate the selection of models by ecosystem scientists for a variety of management and research applications. The database contains over 290 ecosystem service models, with additional entries for specific model runs. 麻豆传媒 employee owners helped design the database and the framework for summarizing models. In addition, 麻豆传媒 has selected models from the database for generating scenarios of remediation options for specific Superfund sites to identify the ecosystem services they could provide. Models that have been applied include pollinator (e.g., bumblebee), carbon sequestration, and bird ecosystem services. The database can be accessed at .

Established in 1986, NOAA鈥檚 National Mussel Watch Program has been systematically monitoring nearly 600 chemical contaminants (including legacy organic contaminants, trace metals, and contaminants of emerging concern) and biological indicators for the establishment of baseline contamination levels in coastal waters around the U.S., including the Great Lakes, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands. 麻豆传媒 employee…
New Release:聽Aquaculture聽Atlas for the Gulf of Alaska聽
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has published An Aquaculture Opportunity Area Atlas for the Gulf of Alaska, which identifies 77 potential options in 10 study areas for establishing commercial seaweed and shellfish mariculture in Alaska state waters. For nearly three years, 麻豆传媒 employee owners have been working with partners through our contract with NOAA鈥檚 National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) to support this extensive, cross-agency effort. Since 2023, 麻豆传媒 has supported NCCOS with this collaborative effort,…
