Taylor Bailey leads publication of a new paper describing geomorphological controls on estuary hydrodynamics in Maine

Taylor Bailey (PhD candidate) is first author of a new paper in the journal, Science of the Total Environment. The paper, Geomorphological Controls on Estuary Hydrodynamics with Implications for Diatom Blooms in Deglaciated Coastal Areas, informs current practices of harmful algae bloom (HAB) monitoring and management by linking coastal geomorphology to hydraulic conditions influencing HAB sampling outcomes, coastal morphometric features to material accumulation hotspots, and millennial time scales to modern estuary hydraulic conditions. The paper is currently available as a pre-proof online.
