Professor Charles Flagg of Stony Brook’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, or SoMAS, (PhD, MIT/Woods Hole 1977) has been studying The Great South Bay and other coastal lagoons for much of his career. Below are links to his last three regular reports on The New Inlet, which are based on 24/7 monitoring of tidal action and salinity, as well as mosaic or three dimensional renderings of The New Inlet, as mapped by the SoMAS team. Here is in addition a link to his Great South Bay Ecosystem Project research page, which has some great video, photographic, and research content.
