    Is the Water Level Rising or Are We Just Sinking?

    Headlines about Oysters, the James River award and the EPA getting sued over E. Coli. 

    How much of a role does the land sinking play in the sea level rising and why is the Bay going to be one of the worst affected areas. 


    Major Conclusions • Land subsidence and global sea-level rise combine to cause relative sea-level rise in the southern Chesapeake Bay region. • Land subsidence causes more than half of the observed relative sea-level rise. • Aquifer-system compaction causes more than half of the land subsidence.

    15-What the Watkins Point!? Old Maps, New Science and the Feud between Maryland and Virginia
    In an attempt to discover the true route of Captain John Smith on his voyage up the Chesapeake Bay in 1608, Dr. Michael Scott and his team of geographers at Salisbury University accidentally stumbled into a major historical controversy. This presentation will discuss the processes John Smith used to map the Bay in the early 17th century, the methods used by modern geographers to unravel the true nature behind historical maps, and how the links between the two can help history come alive for modern-day explorers of the Chesapeake.
