Developing a Sentinel Site Application Module to examine the interplay of water level, elevation, and plant communities at scales relevant to local, regional, and national decisionmakers.

The evolution of a prominent coastal property in Wells, from colonial settlement through the late 20th century.

Using miniature fitness trackers and environment monitoring devices to locate stress points and improve survival in the Maine lobster supply chain.

Seasonal stories posted along our trails help to keep kids excited for walks in the woods.
