Charlotte Harbor water quality analytics pilot project expands<\/em><\/h3>\n

The University of Florida\u2019s Center for Coastal Solutions, or CCS, and the SAS Institute, a global leader in data analytics software, are joining forces to study the factors that influence water quality and the connections between water quality and economic activity in southwest Florida. Funded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and focused on the Charlotte Harbor estuary and its watersheds, the project aligns with CCS\u2019 mission to innovate cutting-edge data analytics, modeling and artificial intelligence and provide leaders the insights they need to identify the decisions and investments that will make Charlotte Harbor an environmental restoration success story.<\/p>\n

Tapping into SAS\u2019 comprehensive expertise in data management and analytics, CCS and SAS will develop a web-based platform to allow researchers to explore, analyze and even visualize the data collected from the water in Charlotte Harbor and gain insights into effective clean water management techniques.<\/p>\n

An interdisciplinary team of CCS researchers \u2013 hydrologists, oceanographers, ecologists, economists and computer scientists \u2013 will use these data to investigate the interdependencies among pollution, ocean circulation, coastal water quality and economics, and use satellite data to develop high-resolution water quality forecasting technology.<\/p>\n

In a recent collaboration, CCS and SAS developed a pilot-scale platform to bring together massive amounts of water-quality data from the southern portion of the Charlotte Harbor estuary in near-real time with easy-to-use visualizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile this pilot project demonstrated the value of quickly integrating high-quality data to support decision-making and scientific research, the current project will allow us to expand our data, analytics and modeling capabilities to the central and northern regions of the estuary and include economic data and analyses. These new elements are allowing us to study the environmental and economic dynamics of the region far more comprehensively and guide more holistic solutions,\u201d said Christine Angelini, Ph.D., CCS director and lead investigator on the project.<\/p>\n

\"Map
The Charlotte Harbor watershed covers one-sixth of Florida\u2019s area and comprises seven basins. The Peace River originates at Lake Hancock, near Lakeland, and drains a large basin to the northern Harbor. The Caloosahatchee River connects Lake Okeechobee to the Gulf Coast, and Lake Okeechobee receives flows from the state\u2019s interior, primarily via the Kissimmee River.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As the project progresses, CCS and SAS will explore a wider range of drivers affecting water quality in Charlotte Harbor and the Peace River Basin and will estimate the economic impacts of environmental changes throughout the region.<\/p>\n

A vital resource being employed in this project is the HiPerGator, the most powerful university-owned supercomputer in the U.S. and the centerpiece of UF\u2019s AI Initiative, which allows Maitane Olabarrieta, Ph.D., CCS associate director, and her team to hindcast and forecast 3D hydrodynamics of the estuary and to verify these models based on data collected from past events. The investigators can now predict the relative effects of freshwater discharge, tides and winds and understand how those factors might impact the way pollutants are transported in the estuary and in the nearshore, and how long they can persist inside the estuary.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt CCS, we are deeply committed to our mission of predicting and preventing environmental hazards that impact the health of our coastal communities,\u201d Dr. Olabarrieta said. \u201cThis is just one example of how UF\u2019s supercomputer capabilities are helping us deliver on our promise to our community, and we are excited to see its impact throughout the state of Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Angelini emphasized that by capitalizing on the supercomputing power of the University of Florida and capabilities of SAS Viya, which is a comprehensive data management and visualization platform, the project team is in a unique position to leverage large amounts of environmental and economic data that have been collected by local, state and federal agencies as well as local partners like the Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation, and others to better understand how coastal water quality is changing and why.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur primary goal in coupling this advanced scientific understanding with a holistic assessment of the regional economy is to deliver useful, actionable information to decision makers who want to leave a legacy of cleaner waters, healthier ecosystems and a more robust, resilient economy in this region of the state,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

This project is one element of the state of Florida\u2019s larger efforts to tap into analytics in bold efforts to improve water quality. In particular, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis\u2019 FY22-23 budget commits more than $3.6 billion to the state\u2019s environment and water quality, of which $17 million will be dedicated to data analytics for water quality improvement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited and proud to partner with the University of Florida and the SAS Institute to develop innovative solutions to complex challenges,\u201d said Mark Rains, Ph.D., Florida\u2019s chief science officer. \u201cThis analytics platform will help us to better identify and respond to water-quality changes in Charlotte Harbor, and it has the potential to unlock data-based solutions that will enhance our efforts around the state.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
