STAGES
Stakeholder-Guided Environmental Science
IOBCWA was chosen to participate in TAMUCC's Stakeholder-Guided Environmental Science(STAGES) for their National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT). IOBCWA advised our need for data management, analysis and predictive outcomes utilizing machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) as it pertains to industrial development along the Coastal Bend including the North Shore of Corpus Christi Bay. We advised interest in long-term relationships either part-time or full-time to develop modeling of environmental and health impacts from air and water quality degradation in Corpus Christi Bay.
IOBCWA has the potential to gain access to TAMUCC's database for:
IOBCWA has the potential to gain access to TAMUCC's database for:
- Water quality, salinities, pH, opacity & oxygen levels
- Seagrass imagery of Corpus Christi Bay over time
- Core sampling and analysis along Corpus Christi Ship Channel –questions of siltation increase from dredging activity and harmful effects to marine life productivity
- Air monitoring databases in Corpus Christi and other TCEQ sources for comparative emissions analysis
- Blucher database of sea level change over time.
- Any updated analysis of relative sea level rise.
