Description:

Groundwater Supply A clean and abundant groundwater supply is vital to Maryland's future. Science-based investigations are critical to insure long-term resource sustainability. Coastal Geology The Atlantic Coast and Chesapeake Bay shoreline are integral parts of Maryland's ecosystem and economy. Understanding the physical and chemical processes at work in those areas is critical to help manage conflicting demands. (Ocean City, Maryland, view from south to north.
