Modeling Workgroup Projects

New web page summarizes the priorities and identifies lead researchers for each effort. The descriptions are brief with links to more detailed workplans.

These updated modeling tools will be used by the Chesapeake Bay Program partnership to inform decisions related to the nutrient and sediment reduction goals outlined in the revised Watershed Agreement.

Tributary Summary Reports and geonarratives on trends and analyses for the 12 major tributary basins in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

This project entry serves as a home for Phase 6 Watershed Model documentation.

Resources for climate change projections and scenarios, modeling documentation and decision-support materials, STAC peer review documents, policy option briefing memorandums and decision-support materials, and  partnership decision-support presentations.

This project page is the repository for documents and files related to the peer review of the Phase 6 Water Quality and Sediment Transport Model (WQSTM). Please email Kyle Hinson (khinson@chesapeakebay.net) with any questions you may have.

Documentation

All documentation for the Phase 6 WQSTM can be found in the Draft 2017 documentation and its appendices. Information on key scenarios can also be found in the Phase 6 Key Scenarios pdf file.

Additional Materials

Further attachments contain all the presentations that were presented for the STAC peer review.

This section contains resources and publications including prior reviews that may be employed in reviewing the Phase 6 Water Quality and Sediment Transport Model (WQSTM).

An exploration of how shallow-water models can improve shallow-water simulations of dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll a, suspended solids and water clarity to better understand the impacts of alternative management strategies on water quality and living resources in the tidal Chesapeake Bay.
