Puget Sound Modeling Workshop April 23, 2004

University of Washington, Ocean Science Building

A regional scientific workshop on marine modeling sponsored by the Partnership was held on April 23, 2004 at University of Washington, School of Oceanography. The purpose of this workshop was to showcase modeling capabilities that exist in our region and to develop and to formulate regional research priorities for marine modeling. The workshop saw active participation by scientists from academic institutions, government agencies and consulting companies.
