It establishes a framework for
facilitating cooperation and
coordination among the following
agencies (the specific research
organization within the agency is in
parentheses): National Science
Foundation; U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Engineer Research and
Development Center); U.S. Department
of Agriculture (Natural Resources
Conservation Service); U.S. Department
of Energy (Office of Biological and
Environmental Research); U.S.

cooperating and coordinating in the
research and development (R&D) of
multimedia environmental models,
software and related databases,
including development, enhancements,
applications and assessments of site
specific, generic, and process-oriented
multimedia environmental models as
they pertain to human and
environmental health risk assessment.
Multimedia model development and
simulation supports interagency
interests in risk assessment, uncertainty
analyses, water supply issues and
contaminant transport.
Purpose of the Public Meeting: The
annual public meeting and workshop
provides an opportunity for the
scientific community, other Federal and
State agencies, and the public to be
briefed on ISCMEM activities and their
initiatives for the upcoming year, and to
discuss technological advancements in
multimedia environmental modeling.
Proposed Agenda: The ISCMEM Chair
will open the meeting with a brief
overview of the goals of the MOU and
an update on current activities of
ISCMEM. This introduction will be
followed by a series of invited
presentations starting on Tuesday
morning, Oct. 21, and ending on
Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 22.
Meeting Access: The meeting will be
available through Web Meeting
Services. To obtain web access to the
ISCMEM October 21–22 meeting and
workshop, all interested attendees will
