Jeffrey Cornwell is an expert in sediments, water quality, and wetlands, but his work on oysters helped move forward efforts to restore the Bay’s oyster population through insights on the role of oysters in removing nutrients from the water column and how aquaculture impacts the chemistry of sediments and the impact of nutrient and phosphorus pollution on excess algae growth.
