Florida Bay Salinity Modeling Workshop Agenda

 

 

August 30, 1999

 

1300 – 1310    Introduction to Workshop

 

1310 – 1320    Description of Salinity Scenarios

 

1320 – 1500    Results Obtained with RMA10 and FATHOM Models

 

1500 – 1520    Break

 

1520 – 1700    Discussion to Evaluate Results of Salinity Scenario Exercise

 

Are the scenarios well posed?

Are the models adequate for the task?

What aspects of the salinity response are important?

What conclusions can we draw from the work that has been done?

 

 

August 31, 1999

 

0830 – 0900    Coffee and donuts

 

0900 – 0910    Application of Models as Ecological Performance Measures

 

0910 – 1030    Development of Empirical Models

 

1030 – 1050    Break

 

1050 – 1200    Application of Other Ecological Models

 

Description of other ecological models, either existing or under development, and their application to assessing ecological response to changes in salinity.

 

1200 – 1300    Lunch

 

1300 – 1430    Looking Ahead to the November Science Conference

 

What can we say about changes in salinity in Florida Bay and the likely ecological response?

            What are the major areas of uncertainty?

            What progress can be made before the November conference?
