Aerial Photos Reveal Extent of Algal Blooms
2012 Algal Bloom flickr Album - High-resolution aerial photographs taken by professor Kim Reece of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science show the broad extent of the algal blooms or “red tides” discoloring lower Chesapeake Bay during late July and early August of 2012.
VIMS collaborates with federal partners to study algal blooms

Product: New land cover data (January 2010) available for the entire Chesapeake Bay
Description:
To better understand how the land is changing and to relate those changes to water quality trends, the USGS EGSC funded the production of a Chesapeake Bay Watershed Land Cover Data Series (CBLCD) representing four dates: 1984, 1992, 2001, and 2006. EGSC will publish land change forecasts based on observed trends in the CBLCD over the coming year. They are in the process of interpreting and publishing statistics on the extent, type and patterns of land cover change for 1984-2006 in the Bay watershed, major tributaries and counties.
