Hypoxia in CCBay
• Occurs when dissolved oxygen (DO) in aquatic environments is reduced to levels harmful to organisms
• System is hypoxic when DO < 30% saturation or (~ 2 mg/L)
• Most fish cannot live below 30% DO saturation.

Corpus Christi Bay Testbed Objectives
• An interdisciplinary team of hydrologists, environmental engineers, and biologists are collaborating to: – Improve understanding of hypoxia
• Correlated with salinity-induced stratification• Causes of stratification and spatial and temporal patterns of hypoxia
are currently uncertain– Explore how sensor data can be used to guide adaptive
sampling– Create improved models of hypoxia, coupling numerical
hydrodynamic and oxygen models with data mining methods; and
– Demonstrate how these information sources can be integrated into emerging cyberinfrastructure tools to create an environmental information system (EIS) for collaborative research and decision support.
How Will An EIS Help the Researchers in Corpus Christi
Bay?Consider the following scenarios
that define what could be enabled….
Hypoxia Alert• Data from agency and observatory sensors stream into the
EIS, which provides near-real-time hypoxia forecasts
• George Smith gets a page saying that hypoxic conditions are predicted with 80% certainty in 24 hours
• George logs into the CyberCollaboratory, where he joins an ongoing chat with researchers (both local and across the country), who also received the alert, and are looking at the data and model predictions– The researchers agree that the predictions appear to be reasonable
given the current conditions– George mobilizes his research team to deploy detailed manual
sampling of the affected region the next morning• He uses the CyberCollaboratory to notify students & volunteers from the
local region who have indicated an interest in helping with field sampling

Hypoxia Alert• When the samplers and crews are mobilized, the data
they collect are transmitted back to the HIS data store– Model predictions made by CyberIntegrator meta-workflows are
updated automatically– Additional data needs are identified with CyberIntegrator meta-
workflows and are transmitted back to the crews through CyberCollaboratory subscriptions
• Others monitor visualizations of hypoxia in real time & discuss implications in the CyberCollaboratory– Regulators & stakeholders– Students across the country

Corpus Christi Bay Environmental Info System
• Workgroup HIS implementation
• Uses ODM to store hydrology and environmental data from state agencies and academic investigators.
• Contains web-services to regional data repositories (e.g. TCOON).
