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，对海鲜、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。将水质恢复到海湾面临着巨大的挑战，这些研讨会是更好地了解非常复杂的恢复途径的持续努力的一部分。这项提议是针对两个相互关联的研讨会：1)2016双年度切萨皮克建模研讨会(ChesMS16)，将于2016年6月1日至2日在弗吉尼亚州威廉斯堡举行，以及2)切萨皮克湾计划2018年后的建模：一个积极主动的愿景研讨会，该研讨会的确切时间和地点尚未确定，但很可能于2016年底在马里兰州安纳波利斯或弗吉尼亚州格洛斯特举行。切萨皮克社区建模计划寻求通过促进合作的开源研究来改进切萨皮克湾、其分水岭和相连的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切萨皮克建模研讨会，作为确定和展示现有建模工作以及交流不同开发人员和用户群体如何将模型用作决策支持工具的场所。通过将建模师、经理、科学家和利益相关者聚集在一起进行一系列全体会议、小组讨论和特别会议，2016切萨皮克建模研讨会将重点关注通过开源、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很好地建立起来了。今年将有以下主题的特别会议：1.切萨皮克数字模型的成功和策略；2.生物资源管理的生态系统建模方法--从？简单？到复杂：介绍和实践学习研讨会，3.模拟康诺文戈大坝填充物对切萨皮克湾水质的影响，4.牡蛎：用于决策的数据和建模，5.模拟陆地-河口交换和相互作用：最先进的，挑战和改进的应用，通过社区建模，6.切萨皮克湾计划在线工具，以加强沟通，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：在多个尺度上使用多种模型的挑战和解决方案，9.用气田、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题为“2018年后切萨皮克湾计划建模：前瞻性展望研讨会”的研讨会将于2016年底在尚未确定的地点举行。这次研讨会是由一组研究人员、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切萨皮克湾计划内工作的科学家们构思和策划的。研讨会为期三天？积极主动？通过切萨皮克湾研究联盟与切萨皮克湾项目的合作协议举办讲习班。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提议选择赞助讲习班。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，这些活动的具体目的是在学术研究人员和联邦和州管理人员之间提供一个重要的接口，这些研究人员正在(在多个学科和背景下)推动建模科学的发展，后者正在将这些模型应用于美国最大的河口的管理决策。这个河口是世界各地河口的重要试验台，参与者在通过同行评议的出版物分享他们的活动结果方面有着出色的记录。
