Kudos to Dr. Matt Baker for release of new detailed stream map for Chesapeake Bay watershed - efforts reveal 2x previous estimates

Dr. Baker unveils new stream maps for Chesapeake Bay

Exciting debut of high-resolution stream maps for the full Chesapeake Bay watershed.  Dr. Matt Baker generated the method for mapping these previously unmapped streams, and collaborated in the effort with the Chesapeake Conservancy and the Chesapeake Bay Program (EPA).  Two GES alum, David Saveedra (GES '14) and Labeeb Ahmed (GES '15), were also part of the six-year effort to map and release this new dataset.
