NGS Expertise Provides for Monitoring Effort at VCU Research Facility

NGS personnel provided site-specific information to researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University's Rice Rivers Center. The Center is a field station devoted to environmental research, teaching, and public service, and is the most recent site to be adopted into the Chesapeake Bay Sentinel Site Cooperative. Researchers there are establishing a long-term monitoring effort at the site, with sensors such as sedimentation erosion tables and water level stations located in a series of tidal freshwater habitats. NGS personnel provided guidelines, models, and tools appropriate to furnish highly accurate and precise height information for the Center's monitoring sensors.
