Experts Database

Welcome to the Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Experts Database.  Use this database as a tool to connect with experts that are partners with the CESU research network.

All data are collected and hosted by the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), which is the official host institution for the CESU.

The search engine will search profile information along with the text from the CV’s for each expert.
