Freshwater input influences the Cook Inlet region in many ways, and has piqued the interest of scientists whether it's in the capacity of circulation, modeling, ecosystem function, climate change, or something else. AOOS hosted a call on April 10th to talk about:
- The state of knowledge on the hydrology and freshwater input into Cook Inlet (based on the collective insights of the group)
- What questions people would like answered
- Opportunities for collaboration
