Aaron Bever Email & Phone Number

Dr. Aaron Bever has more than 15 years of experience combining field observations and state of the art three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic, water quality, sediment transport, and wave models to better understand hydrodynamics, water quality, and sediment transport in coastal and estuarine systems. Dr. Bever’s recent work has focused on salinity, water temperature, and turbidity modeling and sediment transport in San Francisco Bay, and also on methods to better estimate and forecast hypoxia in the Chesapeake Bay. His work in multiple estuarine systems combining long-term field-collected data sets with numerical model results has demonstrated that numerical models can give valuable insight for supporting management decisions and for improving observational sampling strategies and strategic instrument deployments.Dr. Bever is the lead developer and manages the day-to-day operations of the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Forecast System (CBEFS, www.vims.edu/cbefs), an automated daily system that forecasts conditions throughout the tidal Chesapeake Bay and tributaries.

Listed skills include Sediment Transport, Numerical Modeling, Using Models To Interpret Environmental Data, Intermodel Comparisons, and 1 others.
