About CCMP
The Chesapeake Bay research community has come together to cooperatively build an open source system of watershed and estuary models specific to the Chesapeake Bay region. Through support from CRC member institutions and the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office, CRC modelers have committed to developing a modeling framework that will enable free and open access to model, code and data. As a complementary activity to the CBP modeling program, the Chesapeake Community Model Program will strive to develop a comprehensive model consisting of interchangeable individual modules covering all aspects of hydrodynamics, ecosystem dynamics, trophic exchanges, and watershed interactions towards a future linked watershed-estuary model. For additional information regarding this activity, please visit the links on this site.
