Invited Talk
"Uses of Hydrodynamic and Particle Tracking Models for Management Decision Support in the Lower Great Lakes"
Joseph Atkinson, Ph.D., P.E. Professor Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, and Director of Great Lakes Program University at Buffalo (SUNY)
This talk summarizes the use of hydrodynamic and particle tracking models in several applications for Lakes Erie and Ontario, including an analysis of chemical distributions in Western Lake Erie measured during the recent International Field Years for Lake Erie field study, and nested model development for the Lake Ontario Nearshore Nutrient Study. In addition, a web-based tool for applying particle tracking models in Lakes Erie and Ontario is demonstrated, as a potential tool for lake users and managers.
