Chesapeake Bay Expertise Database

CBED allows scientists, managers, research funders, and other interested parties to identify experts at CRC member institutions and other CBP partner institutions through searches by scientific discipline, management area, research interests, or institution. Please see the sidebar to learn more.

Instructions for CBED

1 - On-line searching of this database is by one field only. For more complex searches, see “2” below.

2 - For CBED registrants and other approved users having good cause, the CRC can conduct more complex searches on request and provide output to users as a list of names, institutions, and email addresses.

3 - Controlled vocabulary is currently in place for Chesapeake Bay Management Area and some Institutions. For other fields, you may wish to conduct multiple searches – e.g., for a search of experts on fish and fisheries under “expertise”, you might wish to conduct separate searches for “fish”, “living resources”, “pelagic”, etc. (Each of these searches will capture a different set of returns.)

4 - Searches by shortened words will generate a longer list of “hits”. For example, a search by “expertise” for “fish” will find experts who have listed “fisheries.”

5 - Please note that CBED is self-registering and therefore is not comprehensive. In this regard, we ask users to please help us spread the word and encourage expert registration among colleagues. All applications for registration will be reviewed and “vetted” by the CRC prior to inclusion in the database.

6 - If you are a registered expert and would like to change any of your information, simply e-mail your desired changes to us at: CRC-CBED@chesapeake.org. Alternatively, you can RE-REGISTER (here) and send an email to CRC-CBED@chesapeake.org to let us know that you have done so. (You only need to enter your name and the new data for whatever "field" is being changed. It is not necessary to re-complete any fields that are already correct.)
