Researchers
in
the Ecohydrology
Research
Group,
lead
by
CERC
Chair
in
Ecohydrology
Dr.
Philippe
Van
Cappellen,
will
be
flooding
the Beverly
Swamp this
week
as
part
of
a
large
scale
study.
The
wetland
is
located
in
the
Flamborough
area
and
spans
three
watersheds.
The
area
has
been
highly
instrumented
to
collect
data
during
the
flood
event
and
beyond
and
researchers
will
be
on
hand
around
the
clock
the
first
few
days
to
oversee
the
flood
and
collect
additional
data.
Dr.
Van
Cappellen
and
colleagues
are
excited
at
this
opportunity
to
study
the
ecosystem
in
the
days
and
months
after
the
flood
and
what
it
will
reveal
about
the
ecosystem's
responses
to
changes
in
hydrologic
and
climatic
conditions.
