Chesapeake Bay Land Change Model Review

In November 2008, STAC conducted a second technical review of the Chesapeake Bay Land Use Model to respond to the CBP?s request for STAC evaluation. Coordinated by STAC member Chris Pyke, USGBC, a team of independent experts were convened to review the CBP?s response to previous STAC recommendations, utility of the approach for watershed modeling, responsiveness of the Phase Five watershed model to land use/land cover scenarios, and the relevance of the modeling products to decision makers and stakeholders.
