The goal of the conference is to provide new information such as study results, model simulations, and analysis and syntheses of data to the broad community of scientists, engineers, resource managers, and stakeholders working on Bay-Delta issues. The organizers of this 6th Science Conference are seeking presentations toward this goal.  The conference program will feature both oral and poster presentations that provide scientific information and ideas relevant to the specific themes, as well as the broader overall conference theme “Ecosystem Sustainability: Focusing Science on Managing California’s Water Future.”
