Workshop Goals

1. Facilitate a broad sharing of information regarding critical load terminology and definitions along with technical/science projects among the agencies and stakeholders.
2. Understand the history and science behind development of critical loads in Europe and the U.S. in order to give context and background for future use of critical loads model outputs and empirical data.
3. Develop a draft broad federal strategy for planning, executing and evaluating critical loads projects, including integrating CL science/technical issues with consideration of CL use in a policy/management framework. Such a strategy will make cooperative efforts more effective. (Focus of May 25 agency coordinating session)
