  1. MACOORA 4th Annual Meeting Understanding the Coastal Ocean: Partnerships for a Changing World-- USGS perspective Portsmouth, VA November 17, 2009 Eric F. Vowinkel, Ph.D. United States Geological Survey New Jersey Water Science Center vowinkel@usgs.gov

  3. USGS Science Strategy: 2007-2017 • Understanding ecosystems and predicting ecosystem change • Climate variability and change • Energy and minerals for America’s future • National Hazards risk and resilience assessment program • The role of environment and wildlife in human health • A water census for the United States

  4. How can USGS help MACOORA? Partnerships • Member of MACOORA • Co-PI on MARCOOS 2010 • National Water Quality Monitoring Council • National Monitoring Network for Coastal Waters and Their Tributaries • Chesapeake Bay • CBOS/CIPS • East Coast IOOS Regional Associations Water Quality Workshop 1/25-26/2010 Keys to success • Connecting data from watersheds, estuaries, and coastal areas • Sharing of data streams • Integrating data from different agencies and sampling strategies (discrete, probabilistic, continuous, satellite) • Creating and sharing tools to synthesize and interpret data • Envisioning and using new technologies to collect data

  5. SuccessfulPartnerships CBOS-CIPS • CIPS forecasts require near-real time, and eventually verified , data for validation and subsequent evaluation, respectively. • The USGS is to provide river flow and tidal water-level data for selected major tributaries in the CB for these purposes. • Recently DM staff from USGS, MACOORA, and CBOS (NOAA NCBO) developed a prototype approach to obtain these data from USGS NWIS Instadata and IDA database services. • This prototype approach helps resolve a long-standing challenge—t o merge?, incorporate? near-real time and verified data from the USEPA-USGS National Water-Quality Monitoring Network stations into? with? data from the emerging IOOS tidal and ocean monitoring networks.
