Chesapeake Bay Water Quality Modeling Workshop

Combining Current or Future Satellite Data with Models to Solve Practical Societal Problems

8.22.2019


This one-day workshop, held at Goddard Space Flight Center, connected researchers with resource managers and stakeholders to support decision making around Chesapeake Bay water quality and ecosystem health. This workshop identified state-of-the-art modeling, especially where relevant satellite data sets are used. There were panel discussions on water clarity and harmful algal blooms and during the discussion sessions, action items were developed to focus on these key areas and to outline next steps to further interagency and academic efforts.
