Today’s Menu: Chesapeake Bay Watershed Data Dashboard: An Introduction and How To Guide

The Chesapeake Watershed Data Dashboard is an online tool that provides accessibility and visualization of data and technical information that can help guide water quality and watershed planning efforts. A large amount of scientific and technical information is available on the Dashboard for environmental managers and planners at both state and local levels. Much of this information has been updated or newly generated in recent years and can inform watershed restoration plan development and implementation. This presentation will include an overview of the Dashboard, a live demonstration, and time for questions/discussion.

Kaylyn Gootman has been with the Chesapeake Bay Program Office since 2022 as an Integrated Analysis Coordinator with the Science, Analysis, and Implementation Branch where she direct the efforts of multi-disciplinary teams in the development, maintenance and updating of electronic Chesapeake Bay watershed information; coordinates Chesapeake Bay restoration and protection data analysis and interpretation activities from multiple sources and partners; serves as a technical lead for the development of computerized systems in support of continued integrated analysis of model simulated inputs/outputs of the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem; develops and provides training on a full array of community-based environmental models, data analysis, and diagnostic tools used in the generation of Chesapeake Bay restoration and protection information; and shares scientific information via a variety of communication methods.
