The Chesapeake Community Modeling Program (CCMP) seeks to improve modeling tools and related resources specific to the Chesapeake Bay, its watershed, and connected environmental systems by fostering collaborative open source research. Toward this end the CCMP is convening a modeling symposium as a venue to identify and showcase existing modeling efforts as well as promote information exchange and open modeling.
The symposium is intended to facilitate the development of an inventory of models and data sets, and stimulate collaborative research on data processing and modeling. The resulting inventory of modeling tools and data will be made available through the CCMP web pages, in attempt to stimulate cross-pollination across modeling teams and paradigms and encourage future community modeling efforts. It is our hope that this will lead to the development of more comprehensive and integrated modeling tools for the Bay and its watershed, as well as for other watersheds around the country.
