Description

Global sea level is rising and coastal marshes are changing as a result. Scientists are working to model how these changes might affect coastal environments. This webinar will help participants understand what questions models can help address, the limitations of modeling, and parameters to be aware of when reviewing modeling results.

Learning Outcomes

• Recognize the key parameters and uncertainties associated with these models
• Identify real-world implications of model results
• Indicate how to more effectively incorporate modeling results into management initiatives
