Characterization & Analyses of Water Quality Data in the Indian River Lagoon
The Indian River Lagoon project (2005-2006) consisted of organizing data and determining appropriate methods for trend evaluation. The primary objective of this project was to perform trend analysis on time series water quality data considering seasonality. Multiple statistical techniques were investigated. Results will be published in peer reviewed journals.
This project was funded by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD).
