SEA-Basins
Introduction

SEA-BASINS is a multi-scaled, nested, regional synthesis and training engine that asks the questions:

  • What are the biophysical and, ultimately, economic consequences of changing land-use and climate on the mobilization of water and its chemical load from the land surface into the coastal zone?
  • What is the functional strategy for taking basic science information and translating it into water resource information and management at regional scales?

The process of implementing SEA-BASINS is to use a network of partners to develop and utilize the modeling and information engine, NAGA (mythical god of water resources). The objective is to provide a template where academics, resource agencies, and decision-makers can consider rigorous scenarios of alternative futures in making complex environmental decisions.

SEA-BASINS is led by SEA-START and the University of Washington.
