Virtual Beach Webinar Archive

This webinar, recorded on June 3, 2021, featured Mike Cyterski from EPA's ORD presenting on Virtual Beach (VB). VB is a decision support tool that facilitates the development of statistical models of water quality at site-specific locations. It allows users to estimate any general response variable using commonly measured environmental data. This webinar discussed how VB is used to assist in advisory issuances in the Great Lakes states and to forecast water conditions in states and other recent case study examples.
