2018 Chesapeake Community Research & Modeling Symposium


June 12-14 2018 at the Crowne Plaza Annapolis

The Chesapeake Community Modeling Program (CCMP) seeks to improve observational and modeling tools specific to the Chesapeake Bay and its surrounding environment by fostering collaborative, open source research. The purpose of the sixth biennial Chesapeake Community Research and Modeling Symposium is to identify and showcase existing observational and modeling research efforts and decision support tools using data.

While the Bay ecosystem is well-researched, many challenges remain. We need higher temporal resolution measurements and higher spatial resolution models, and better  and models of physical, biological and chemical processes in the air-shed, watershed and estuary. We need more flexible sampling and modeling approaches to resolve management impacts on living resources. We need to link models to human and socio-economic impacts.

By bringing together managers, scientists, and stakeholders for a series of plenary talks, panel discussions, and special sessions, the 2018 Chesapeake Community Research and Modeling Symposium will highlight recent progress, challenges and prospects for research, monitoring and modeling efforts that are used to guide management and restoration efforts in Chesapeake Bay.
