Motivation• Study coupled ecosystem of south Sound
– Biology, chemistry, circulation, runoff, weather– Water quality vulnerability
• Integrate, validate PRISM models– Preparation for other studies; domain is entire Sound– Virtual Puget Sound, bloodstream
• Education– Oceanography fieldwork class– Oceanography of Puget Sound class
• Collaboration
