Using Multiple Management Models in the Chesapeake Bay

This meeting is open to the public. Unless otherwise noted, it may be recorded for internal use.

Date and Time

Thursday, April 26, 2012 from 9:00am - 4:00pm

Purpose

The Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) currently intends to find funds in nexy year's federal budget to fund multiple modeling teams to develop, run and compare the output of multiple coupled shallow water, hydrodynamic+water quality/sediment models within a data-rich, shallow water area of the estuary. STAC has specifically been asked to conduct a workshop to help the CBP:

1) Define elements that should be included in such a pilot project and,

2) Begin a discussion of the benefits and challenges of using multiple models in a regulatory environment.

This workshop will be the first of two workshops held on this topic. The second will take place during the summer of 2012.

Location
