Webinar Series to Inform Core Area 7 - Integrated / Linked Modeling System: May 20, Socio-Economics

Part of the Core 7B GoMRI Synthesis efforts is to develop a conceptual modeling framework that will synthesize new knowledge gained since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. This framework will set the foundation for a model that can be used to address broad questions posed by stakeholders in the event of a future oil spill. To answer such questions the model must be capable of integrating natural and anthropogenic systems at various disciplines and scales. A webinar series will be held to gather information from the GoMRI research community.
