Abstract

This fieldtrip illustrates the character of the lower Connecticut River bedrock valley, in particular its depth, and the lithology and structure of bedrock units it crosses. It examines the character and distribution of the glaciodeltaic terraces that partially fill the valley and discusses the depth of postglacial incision into them.

Understanding nekton use of estuarine habitats in the northern Gulf of Mexico: Guidebook for natural resource managers and restoration practitioners

Without a comprehensive understanding of nekton use of key habitats across locations, natural resource managers and restoration practitioners in the northern Gulf of Mexico region lack a key tool to assist in their efforts to design, implement, and monitor effective coastal restoration and protection efforts in the decades to come. To address this need, Abt helped conduct a systematic literature review, data compilation, and meta-analysis to evaluate nekton use of estuarine habitats in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
