GLIN==> GLOS Model Inventory Request

On behalf of the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS), LimnoTech is
developing a comprehensive inventory of environmental models that have been
applied in the Great Lakes Region.  We are asking for your help to identify
relevant models that you have developed or applied in the Great Lakes
Region.  In 2002, LimnoTech developed a Great Lakes Model Inventory (see
link below) aimed at identifying model frameworks of value for the Great
Lakes Water Withdrawal/Diversion Annex.  We are now expanding and updating
that inventory to include model frameworks and applications that can be used
to address GLOS societal goals (listed below).  Almost all models applied in
the Great Lakes Region could be used to address one of the following goals,
so please consider sending us the information necessary to include it in the
model inventory.

 

GLOS Societal Goals 

*           Regional Climate Change Forecasting and Impact Assessment

*           Safety and Efficiency of Marine Operations

*           Natural Hazard Mitigation

*           National and Homeland Security

*           Public Health Risks

*           Protection and Restoration of Coastal Aquatic Ecosystems

*           Sustained use of Aquatic Resources

 

We have created a fact sheet template that can be used to quickly identify
the features of your particular model framework or model application.
Simply replace the red guidance in each box with your model information.
Facts sheets already exist for many "off the shelf" models (see link below),
but feel free to fill out a fact sheet for applications of any of these "off
the shelf" models. Any citations to reports or publications are appreciated.
Models that are under development can still be included in the model
inventory, just include an estimated completion date in the notes field. 

 

All model and model applications identified during this search will be
compiled and posted on the GLOS website to facilitate discussion and
collaboration within the Great Lakes modeling community.  Please email us
with any questions you have regarding this request for information and
please forward this email to anyone you think could contribute to this
effort.

Please send completed fact sheets to modelupdate at limno.com no later than
Thursday, September 10, 2009 to be included in the inventory.
