Lynker is an exhibitor and presenter at OCEANS 2023 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum and Convention Center in Biloxi, MS.

Lynker is thrilled to continue to provide expertise to support The Geo-intelligence Division (GID) and the National Weather Service (NWS) water prediction mission with our contract win of Office of Water Prediction (OWP) Geospatial Services for NOAA NWS. Support includes the development, evaluation and implementation of high resolution, neighborhood scale Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) capabilities and the supporting enterprise hydrofabric that supports both FIM and the National Water Model.

The Lynker Team had a wonderful time at the 22nd Annual NASA Goddard Space Flight Center/Maryland Space Business Roundtable Fall Reception and Lecture at The Strathmore! We were a silver sponsor for the event.

Lynker is excited to win NOAA’s Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) Consulting and Technical Support Services contract! We will provide a range of scientific, technical, administrative and programmatic consulting expertise to support the OR&R mission.

Lynker employees, Dr. Mary E. Allen and Dr. Erica K. Towle, Ph.D. are co-authors on the new report, National Coral Reef Monitoring Program Socioeconomic Monitoring Component Summary Findings for American Samoa 2021. The report summarizes current human dimensions information relevant to coral reef resources in American Samoa, as well as trends between the first (2014) and second (2021) monitoring cycles. The results indicate that American Samoa residents have important human connections to coral reefs and rely on these ecosystems for a variety of cultural and socioeconomic benefits. Results also suggest that residents want to see efforts to mitigate threats (e.g., pollution) to coral reefs and prevent resource conditions (e.g., ocean water quality, amount of live coral) from becoming worse.
