Scientists are studying trends from fossil records to understand how climate change impacted the world in the ancient past and to identify ways to predict how things may change in the future, according to a study by University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science researcher Matt Fitzpatrick and colleagues published in the August 2 issue of Science.

Chesapeake Bay health improved to a C in 2012 and could indicate a reverse in course of declining health, according to an assessment by scientists at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
Scientists are expecting a smaller than average hypoxic level in the Chesapeake Bay this year, and a very large “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico based on several NOAA-supported forecast models.
