Chesapeake Bay Program Climate Change Modeling 2.0

September 24, 2018 - September 25, 2018
Annapolis, MD

This two-day workshop brought together experts in climate change, estuarine, and watershed sciences to undertake a detailed and focused examination of the current results of the Chesapeake Bay Program’s (CBP) Midpoint Assessment climate change modeling efforts, assess lessons-learned and recommend next steps.

The motivation for the workshop stems from the Principals’ Staff Committee decision to develop a framework for addressing climate change impacts in the Phase III Watershed Implementation Plans (WIPs), recognizing that further work is needed to have the CBP jurisdictions account for additional nutrient and sediment pollutant loads due to climate change conditions by 2025, in their 2-year milestones beginning in 2022.
