Team Overview
In 2026, the Climate Change Project Work Team merged with the Estuarine Ecology Team (EET) Project Work Team (PWT). The EET PWT is a forum providing a framework for addressing climate change and other broad ecological issues within the San Francisco Estuary. More specific technical issues can still be addressed by a Climate Change MAST (Management, Analysis, and Synthesis Team) that would include selected EET members and outside experts who can commit to substantive work for the team as needed.
The purpose of the Climate Change Project Work Team is to provide a forum for addressing climate change issues within the upper San Francisco Estuary.
Objectives
- Discuss the effects of climate change on the aquatic resources of the upper San Francisco Estuary.
- Synthesize relevant science and develop conceptual models for understanding the effects of climate change on the aquatic resources of the upper San Francisco Estuary.
- Identify any gaps in monitoring networks relative to understanding the effects of climate change, and address priority topics.
- Identify ecosystem metrics for climate change.
- Coordinate with other PWTs to address climate change science needs.
