Forest Study
In 1962, the Appalachian Laboratory was founded in the mountains of western Maryland at the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Faculty there study the effects of land-use change on the freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems of the region, how they function in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and how human activity may influence their health and sustainability.
Pictured: At the cutting edge of the linkage of remote sensing, ecology and earth science, Dr. Andrew Elmore is well known for his research on water resources and climate variability and his innovated work with satellite imagery.
