Chesapeake Models and Data Distribution
Date: | Friday, November 10th |
---|---|
Time: | Begin at 10am (Covene at 9:30am) |
Location: | Center of Marine Biotechnology (COMB) |
Baltimore, MD |
This is an exciting time to be working in the Chesapeake Basin environmental science. Over the past few months several major programs have been started which will transform our way of working in the Chesapeake. Community models and data access methodologies are being developed which will enable all Chesapeake researchers to significantly expand their capabilities. A common thread to many of these programs is the integration of systems across the whole Chesapeake watershed or bay. The scope of the programs will involve more collaborative work than ever before. We wish to hold an informational workshop at which the preliminary plans of these different programs can be shared and integrated.
The one day workshop will introduce the community to the various programs and provide a venue for sharing ideas and ambitions. This will be a small workshop, so prior registration will be required. Please request registration from potsiadlod@si.edu.
Agenda
This workshop will be a one-day event consisting of about 8-10 presentations of 15-20 minutes in length. These will be split into the morning and the afternoon, with a coffee break and open discussion session following each round of presentations.
