CJ Beegle-Krause and Eoin Howlett attended the IOOS Modeling & Analysis Workshop. As its first priority, the MAST convened a community modeling workshop to assemble a broad spectrum of 50-60 experts who use model-based products or who engage in modeling oceanic and coastal systems for both research and operational applications.
The workshop goal was to "Foster broad-based, partnership-community input to the planning of the Modeling and Analysis Subsystem for IOOS." The workshop featured representatives from the IOOS Regional Associations, academia, industry. The meeting involved working groups on Atlantic and Pacific issues, as well as specific workgroup in inundation issues. Additionally, MAST provides the U.S. contribution to the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and to the oceans-and-coasts component of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). CJ Beegle-Krause is Vice-Chair of the NOAA's Ocean.us Modeling and Analysis Steering Team (MAST).

Chris Galagan presented seal-level rise and inundation modeling tools to an audience of federal, state, and local agencies and private interests are that responding in a proactive way by investing in the development of mitigation and adaptation measures aimed at sea level rise, floods and storms, effects on drinking water supplies, and the increasing temperatures and acidification of the oceans. This Enviromnetal Business Council of New England hosted program provided a New England view of the implications of some of these activities.
