    The Massachusetts Bay Hydrodynamic Model: 2005 Simulation Massachusetts Water Resources Authority Environmental Quality Department Report ENQUAD 2008-12 Jiang MS, Zhou M. 2008. The Massachusetts Bay Hydrodynamic Model: 2005 Simulation. Boston: Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. Report 2008-12. 58 pp. Massachusetts Water Resources Authority Boston, Massachusetts The Massachusetts Bay Hydrodynamic Model: 2005 Simulation Prepared by: Mingshun Jiang & Meng Zhou Department of Environmental, Earth and Ocean Sciences University of Massachusetts Boston 100 Morrissey Blvd Boston, MA 02125 July 2008 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Boston Harbor, Massachusetts Bay and Cape Cod Bay system (MBS) is a semi- enclosed coastal system connected to the Gulf of Maine (GOM) through boundary exchange. Both natural processes including climate change, seasonal variations and episodic events, and human activities including nutrient inputs and fisheries affect the physical and biogeochemical environment in the MBS. Monitoring and understanding of physical–biogeochemical processes in the MBS is important to resource management and environmental mitigation. Since 1992, the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (MWRA) has been monitoring the MBS in one of the nation’s most comprehensive monitoring programs. Under a cooperative agreement between the MWRA and University of Massachusetts Boston (UMB), the UMB modeling team has conducted numerical simulations of the physical–biogeochemical conditions and processes in the MBS during 2000-2004. Under a new agreement between MWRA, Battelle and UMB, the UMB continues to conduct a numerical simulation for 2005, a year in which the MBS experienced an unprecedented red–tide event that cost tens of millions dollars to Massachusetts shellfish industry. This report presents the model validation and simulated physical environment in 2005.

RE-EVALUATION OF EARTHQUAKE POTENTIAL AND SOURCE IN THE VICINITY OF NEWBURYPORT, MASSACHUSETTS Martitia P. Tuttle M. Tuttle & Associates 128 Tibbetts Lane Georgetown, ME 04548 Tel: 207-371-2007 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the early 1990s, a search for and study of liquefaction features induced by the 1727 Newburyport earthquake also found paleoliquefaction features that formed sometime in the past 4,000 years. Because the ages of the paleoliquefaction features were poorly constrained, the number and timing of the paleoearthquakes responsible for the features were not estimated. In addition, the area over which the earthquake(s) induced liquefaction was not determined, limiting interpretations of earthquake location and magnitude. Picking up where the 1990s study left off, a more recent effort attempted to relocate other liquefaction sites reported during the 1727 earthquake in the hopes of finding additional paleoliquefaction features.
