This resource contains the recording for the student symposium titled "Ecosystem Dynamics & Trends Across Seven National Estuarine Research Reserves," a series of presentations given as part of the 2023 catalyst project "Synthesizing long-term SWMP datasets to quantify estuarine ecosystem dynamics and identify trends along an ecological gradient."

Keywords: data analysis, education (graduate)
Reserves: Chesapeake Bay, MD, Great Bay, NH, Guana Tolomato Matanzas, FL, North Inlet-Winyah Bay, SC, Padilla Bay, WA, Rookery Bay, FL, South Slough, OR
This toolkit organizes and consolidates content from a combination of literature reviews, SWMP data interpretation, and interviews and exhibit evaluations at multiple reserves into a comprehensive package of resources that is accessible to all education coordinators and exhibit designers in the Reserve System.

Project Lead Julie Binz (ACE Basin National Estuarine Research Reserve) gives an introduction to "Advancing Science Literacy with a System-wide Monitoring Data Exhibit," a science transfer project funded in 2021 by the NERRS Science Collaborative. The presentation was given at a virtual project workshop in January 2022.

This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the September 2021 webinar Improved Understanding of Sediment Dynamics for the Coos Estuary.
This article, published in JGR Oceans in 2020, describes the use of a high-resolution model of water and sediment dynamics used in the Coos Bay estuary in Oregon to assess how 150 years of modification have altered sediment storage and transport.
These sediment and hydrodynamic data were collected as part of the 2016-2020 collaborative research project Improved Understanding of Sediment Dynamics for the Coos Estuary that produced a new bathymetric dataset for Coos Bay and a hydrodynamic model characterizing sediment distribution and circulation in the estuary.
This article uses a hydrodynamic model of the Coos estuary in southwestern Orgeon to examine seasonal variability of salinity dynamics and estuarine exchange flow.
