2010 RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR FLORIDA RESEARCH
During the preparation of this report, the following additional needs were identified:
• In Oceanography, fine-scale (decadal) projections of sea-level rise and coastal hydrological modeling of tides at future sea levels.
• In Geology and Hydrology, studies to increase resolution for coastal topography and
bathymetry, to understand impacts of sea
level variability and rise on south Florida
coastal groundwater systems, to assess
mechanisms and forecast freshwater peat
collapse caused by salt-water intrusion, and
to model the relationship between soil carbon and greenhouse gas production in freshwater and saltwater wetlands.
• In Ecology, research to increase understanding of coastal plant environmental tolerances, rapid mapping methodologies for
monitoring large-extent landscape vegetation community change, population viability
assessments to understand potential species
responses to environmental change and
species interactions, and dispersal modeling
to understand potential limitations to species
movements in response to sea-level rise.
• In Decision Support, management options for
integrating directed research, resource management, research-focused monitoring, risk
assessment, and database management
specifically related to sea-level rise. Photo courtesy of University of South Florida
