Workshop on Projecting Climate Change Effects on San Francisco Bay

Changes are ahead for San Francisco Bay, some of which are planned, but many of which are not. This estuarine system is evolving as we try to restore some of its habitats and other characteristic features. To understand the implications of the changes we make to the system and to help guide those changes, we must have predictive tools, models and modeling frameworks, to guide us. This was underscored at a Modeling and Monitoring Workshop conducted on January 19, 2007 by the Coastal Ocean Currents Monitoring Program, NOAA, and the South Bay Salt Pond (SBSP) Restoration Project.
