GLERL 2003 Milestone Reports
Milestones are organized by fiscal year quarter.
THIRD QUARTER | FOURTH QUARTER
THIRD QUARTER (June 2003)
GOAL: Protect, Restore and Manage Use of Ocean and Coastal Resources Through Ecosystem Management Approaches
Objective: Protect, Restore and Manage use of coastal, ocean and Great Lakes resources.
Scientist: Michael Quigley
Milestone-03-3-1: Plan and conduct the Midwest Regional Competition of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl NOSB) for teams of high school students in the Great Lakes Region.
--------
GOAL: Protect, Restore and Manage Use of Ocean and Coastal Resources Through Ecosystem Management Approaches
OBJECTIVE: Rebuild and maintain sustainable fisheries.
SCIENTIST: Doran M. Mason
MILESTONE-03-3-2: Develop standard operating
procedures for the application of fisheries acoustics in the Great Lakes
Region: workshops I and II
FOURTH QUARTER (SEPTEMBER 2003)
GOAL 1: Protect, Restore and Manage Use of Ocean and Coastal Resources Through Ecosystem Management Approaches
OBJECTIVE: Increase ocean and coastal areas explored, mapped, characterized and inventoried.
Scientist: Thomas E. Croley II
Milestone-03-04-1: Apply GLERL's Large Basin Runoff Model in a distributed-parameter fashion for the Kalamazoo River Basin and calibrate and adjust the model to account for difference in soil characteristics.
--------
GOAL 1: Protect, Restore, and Manage use of Ocean and Coastal Resources through Ecosystem Management Approaches
OBJECTIVE: Increase ocean and coastal areas explored, mapped, characterized and inventoried.
Specific Strategy: Understand, describe and develop new environmental forecasting capabilities for the Great Lakes.
Scientist: David Schwab
Milestone-03-04-2: Implement routine distribution of GLERL Coastal Forecasting System wave forecasts for the Great Lakes to NWS offices via NOAAPORT or other communications systems
--------
GOAL: Protect, Restore, and Manage use of Ocean and Coastal Resources through Ecosystem Management Approaches
OBJECTIVE: Increase ocean and coastal areas explored, mapped, characterized and inventoried.
Specific Strategy: Monitor and observe the Great Lakes by developing observation platforms for application throughout the region as part of a Great Lakes Coastal Observing System.
Scientist: Steve Ruberg
Milestone-03-04-3: A prototype buoy with wireless internet connection will be deployed and tested in Lake Erie and Lake Huron measuring oxygen, currents, chlorophyll and turbidity.
--------
GOAL: Protect, Restore, and Manage use of Ocean and Coastal Resources through Ecosystem Management Approaches
OBJECTIVE: Increase use of physical-biological models for forecasting stock abundance.
Specific Strategy:Assess and predict fish populations by developing ecosystem models to improve Great Lakes fisheries management techniques.
Scientist: Doran Mason
Milestone-03-04-4: Model the disruption of food webs by invasive species with implications to fish populations.
--------
GOAL 1: Protect, Restore, and Manage use of Ocean and Coastal Resources through Ecosystem Management Approaches
OBJECTIVE: Increase number and accuracy of forecasts of significant ecological events and trends (e.g., harmful algal blooms, coral bleaching, and population shifts).
Specific Strategy: Assess and predict climate and ecosystems changes over decades by developing models to detect and forecast these changes.
Scientist: Brent Lofgren
Milestone-03-04-5 Complete analysis of regional climate modeling and Great Lakes basin hydrology for increasing CO2 scenarios.
--------
GOAL 1: Protect, Restore, and Manage use of Ocean and Coastal Resources through Ecosystem Management Approaches
OBJECTIVE: Increase number and accuracy of forecasts of significant ecological events and trends (e.g., harmful algal blooms, coral bleaching, and population shifts)
Specific Strategy: Manage aquatic invasions by developing a dedicated NOAA Center for research on the subject.
Scientist: David Reid
Milestone-03-04-06 Plan and/or convene a workshop of NOAA researchers involved with or interested in aquatic invasive species to identify and discuss present research and future priorities and needs and develop cross-LO communication and coordination agreements.
