Pritchard Award

At the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation meeting in Providence, the 2017 Pritchard Award for best physical oceanography paper in Estuaries and Coasts went to our paper on how hydrodynamic processes facilitate the growth of a harmful algal bloom in Nauset estuary.  A nice example of how an interdisciplinary approach can helps the science in both fields!
