Integrated Reconnaissance of the Physical and Biogeochemical Characteristics of Jamaica Bay

Researchers at Columbia Earth Institute have carried out an integrated, coordinated pilot reconnaissance of the physical, chemical, geological, and biological systems within Jamaica Bay, entitled “Integrated Reconnaissance of the Physical and Biogeochemical Characteristics of Jamaica Bay”. We believe that such an integrated approach is necessary to fully understand the complex inter-relationship of the wetland ecosystem. This effort was jointly funded by the US National Park Service/Gateway National Recreational Area and the Columbia Earth Institute of Columbia University.
