AI Article Synopsis
- The Chesapeake Bay faces challenges from sea-level rise and land subsidence, necessitating updated assessments of vertical land motions in the area.
- The paper presents two campaigns utilizing Global Positioning System (GPS) data from 2019 and 2020, detailing the methods for data collection and validation.
- Collected data has been quality checked and is publicly accessible through UNAVCO, adhering to FAIR data principles.
Article Abstract
The Chesapeake Bay is a region along the eastern coast of the United States where sea-level rise is confounded with poorly resolved rates of land subsidence, thus new constraints on vertical land motions (VLM) in the region are warranted. In this paper, we provide a description of two campaign-style Global Positioning System (GPS) datasets, explain the methods used in data collection and validation, and present the experiment designed to quantify a new baseline of VLM in the Chesapeake Bay region of eastern North America. Data from GPS campaigns in 2019 and 2020 are presented as ASCII RINEX2.11 files and logsheets for each observation from the campaigns. Data were quality checked using the open-source program TEQC, resulting in average multipath 1 and 2 values of 0.68 and 0.57, respectively. All data are archived and publicly available for open access at the geodesy facility UNAVCO to abide by Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR) data principles.

The hydrologic benefits of catchment-scale implementation of stormwater control measures (SCMs) in mitigating the adverse effects of urbanization are well established. Nevertheless, recent studies indicate that the Unified Stormwater Sizing Criteria (USSC) regulations, mandating the combined use of distributed and storage stormwater controls, do not protect channel stability, despite their effectiveness in reducing runoff from impervious surfaces. The USSC are the basis of SCM design in 11 U.

Article Synopsis
- Many agricultural watersheds depend on voluntary management practices (MPs) to improve water quality by reducing nutrient and sediment runoff, but the effectiveness of these practices is unclear.
- Analysis of water-quality data from three prioritized Chesapeake Bay watersheds (Smith Creek, Upper Chester River, and Conewago Creek) from 1985 to 2020 reveals inconsistent outcomes, with some areas seeing no decrease in nutrient or sediment loads despite an increase in MPs.
- The study suggests that while MPs may have prevented further water-quality decline, real improvements will likely require lowering manure and fertilizer applications, underscoring the need for long-term monitoring to evaluate MP effectiveness.

Many coastal ecosystems have suffered from cultural eutrophication and dead zones. In the Chesapeake Bay, water quality degradation is manifested in low dissolved oxygen, poor water clarity, and decreased submerged aquatic vegetation acreage. This research combines long-term monitoring data, science-based assessment methods, and novel data analysis approaches (i.
