Assistant Professor Cassie Gurbisz Published in the Journal of Environmental Management

Cassie Gurbisz, assistant professor of environmental studies, has co-authored an article titled, “Data synthesis for environmental management: A case study of the Chesapeake Bay,” published in volume 321 of the Journal of Environmental Management. The article reflects on the collaborative process of a project focused on better understanding bay grass loss and recovery in the Chesapeake Bay.

Gurbisz served on the team as a freshwater bay grass expert. Read more.
