Effects of pollution along the
South Carolina coast can be
predicted with computers.
"By feeding different information
into a computer, we
should be able to predict the
consequences of different types of
pollution," Henry N McKellar, a
USC biology professor, says.
McKellar of the Belle W. Baruch
Institute for Marine Biology and
Coastal Research, is working on
ino development oi a computerized
ecosystem model for the North
Inlet estuary no? Georgetown.
MeKELLER described an
ecosystem as a simplified version
ot natural relationships in an environmental
system. A flow chart,
used as a simple model, can be
translated into computer
programs McKellar said.

by thermal waste pollutants.
The North Inlet, a portion of
"Hobcaw Barony" is a unspoiled
estuary. McKellar said, "If we can
understand how an unpolluted area
functions then we can use the
model to examine environmental
impacts on different estuaries and
marshlands."
Thirty-six research associates of
the institute are developing the
computer program for the North
Inlet.
T1IE NORTH INLET is under
the protection of the Baruch
Foundation. This area has been
made available for the university
for marine biology and coastal
research.
"Environmental modeling has
made a lot of progress, but there is
a great deal of work that has to be
done before it realizes its full
potential," said McKellar.
