1639835BallThe Chesapeake Bay is one of the largest estuaries in the US and is of critical economic importance for seafood, shipping, and wildlife habitat. The drainage area to the Bay is approximately 65,000 square miles. There are significant challenges to restoring the water quality to Bay and these workshops are a part of the continuing effort to better understand the very complex path to restoration.This proposal is for two connected workshops; 1) 2016 Biennial Chesapeake Modeling Symposium (ChesMS16), to be held June 1-2, 2016, in Williamsburg, VA, and, 2) Chesapeake Bay Program Modeling Beyond 2018: A Proactive Visioning Workshop, the precise time and location of this workshop is yet to be determined, but it is likely to occur in late 2016 in Annapolis, MD, or Gloucester, VA. The Chesapeake Community Modeling Program 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 Chesapeake Community Modeling Program is convening the fifth bi-annual Chesapeake Modeling Symposium as a venue to identify and showcase existing modeling efforts as well as communicate how models are used as decision support tools by different developer and user groups. By bringing together modelers, managers, scientists, and stakeholders for a series of plenary talks, panel discussions, and special sessions, the 2016 Chesapeake Modeling Symposium will focus on the challenge of increasing communication and transparency in the model development and application process through open source, community and participatory modeling. The biennial Chesapeake Modeling Symposium has been well established over the past decade. This year there will be special sessions on the following topics: 1. Successes and Strategies for Numerical Models of the Chesapeake, 2. Ecosystem Modeling Approaches for Living Resource Management - from ?Simple? to Complex: An Introduction and Hands-on Learning Workshop, 3. Simulating the Influence of Conowingo Dam Infill on Chesapeake Bay Water Quality, 4. Oysters: Data and modeling for decision-making, 5. Modeling land-estuarine exchanges and interactions: State-of-the-art, challenges, and improved applications through community modeling, 6. Chesapeake Bay Program on-line tools to increase communication, facilitate decision making, and provide transparency, 7. The Missing Link: Connecting Water Quality and Living Resources Models to Support Ecosystem Based Decisions, 8. Simulating Flows and Loadings from the Watershed: Challenges and Solutions with Multiple Models at Multiple Scales, 9. Simulating Climate Change with Airshed, Watershed, and Estuary and Living Resource Models. The 2016 Chesapeake Bay Program, Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee - supported workshop entitled "Chesapeake Bay Program Modeling Beyond 2018: A Proactive Visioning Workshop" will be held in late 2016 at a yet to be determined location. This workshop was conceived and planned by a team of investigators and by members of the Chesapeake Bay Program partnerships Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee, and staff scientists working within the Chesapeake Bay Program in Annapolis. The workshop is a three-day ?proactive? workshop through the Chesapeake Bay Research Consortium cooperative agreement with the Chesapeake Bay Program. Selection of workshops for sponsorship is made by the full Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee membership on the basis of proposals from members and regional scientists. The broader impacts of these two activities will derive from the educational benefits and to broader societal impacts through improved ecosystem management. These events are, in fact, specifically aimed at providing an important and otherwise missing interface between academic researchers who are advancing the science of modeling (in multiple disciplines and contexts) with the federal and state managers who are applying such models to management decisions for the largest estuary in the United States. This estuary is an important test-bed for estuaries throughout the world, and the participants have an outstanding record of sharing the findings of their activities thorough peer-reviewed publications.

切萨皮克湾是美国最大的河口之一，对海产品、航运和野生动物栖息地具有重要的经济意义。海湾的排水面积约为65，000平方英里。有重大的挑战，以恢复水质湾和这些研讨会是一个持续努力的一部分，以更好地了解非常复杂的路径恢复。这一建议是两个相连的研讨会; 1）2016年双年展切萨皮克建模研讨会（ChesMS 16），将于2016年6月1日至2日在弗吉尼亚州威廉斯堡举行，2）2018年以后的切萨皮克湾项目建模：一个前瞻性的愿景研讨会，这个研讨会的确切时间和地点尚未确定，但它很可能发生在2016年底在安纳波利斯，马里兰州，或格洛斯特，弗吉尼亚州。切萨皮克社区建模计划旨在通过促进协作开源研究来改善切萨皮克湾、其流域和相连环境系统的建模工具和相关资源。为此，切萨皮克社区建模计划正在召开第五届两年一度的切萨皮克建模研讨会，作为一个场所，以确定和展示现有的建模工作，以及沟通模型如何被不同的开发人员和用户群体用作决策支持工具。2016年切萨皮克建模研讨会将建模者、管理者、科学家和利益相关者聚集在一起，举行一系列全体会议、小组讨论和特别会议，重点关注通过开源、社区和参与式建模，在模型开发和应用过程中增加沟通和透明度的挑战。两年一度的切萨皮克建模研讨会在过去十年中已经建立。今年将举行关于以下主题的特别会议：1.切萨皮克数值模式的成功和策略，2。生物资源管理的生态系统模拟方法-从？简单？到复杂：介绍和动手学习研讨会，3。模拟Conowingo大坝回填对切萨皮克湾水质的影响，4。牡蛎：决策的数据和建模，5。模拟陆地河口交换和相互作用：国家的最先进的，挑战，并通过社区建模，6改进的应用。切萨皮克湾计划在线工具，以增加沟通，促进决策，并提供透明度，7。缺失的环节：连接水质和生物资源模型，以支持基于生态系统的决策，8。模拟流域的水流和负荷：多尺度多模型的挑战和解决方案，9。用空气流域、流域、河口和生物资源模型模拟气候变化。2016年切萨皮克湾计划，科学和技术咨询委员会支持的讲习班，题为“2018年以后的切萨皮克湾计划建模：一个积极的愿景讲习班”将于2016年底在一个尚未确定的地点举行。这次研讨会是由一个调查小组和切萨皮克湾计划伙伴关系科学和技术咨询委员会的成员以及在安纳波利斯的切萨皮克湾计划内工作的科学工作人员构思和计划的。研讨会为期三天？积极主动？通过切萨皮克湾研究联合会与切萨皮克湾计划的合作协议，由科学和技术咨询委员会全体成员根据成员和区域科学家的建议选择主办的讲习班。这两项活动的更广泛影响将来自教育效益，并通过改善生态系统管理产生更广泛的社会影响。事实上，这些事件是专门针对提供一个重要的，否则缺失的接口之间的学术研究人员谁是推进建模科学（在多学科和上下文）与联邦和国家的管理人员谁是应用这种模型的管理决策在美国最大的河口。这个河口是世界各地河口的一个重要试验台，参与者在通过同行评审的出版物分享其活动结果方面有着出色的记录。
