Goal: Be able to compare indices that assess vulnerability within the Delta by integrating these indices in a tool. Develop a comprehensive understanding on what is the input of each index and how vulnerability is calculated. If possible develop a reproducible way of recreating these indices.
Step 1: We need to understand if it is feasible to integrate/cross-compare data, so we should discuss the answers to:
What is the data source?
How is it calculated (formula/rationale)?
What is the spatial extent?
Is it reproducible? Static or update(bale)? If not, what would be required to make it reproducible?
If there is a temporal scale, what is it (one-year vs. five-year data source)?
How is it interpreted?
Draft the formula and/or conceptual models for each index (or share what already exists).
Outcome – Visualizing and comparing vulnerability estimates - summary table and/or conceptual model including each index we are considering.
Timeline
Have responses to the above on hand for our meeting on Dec 12.

Next steps:
Review the group's availability and intentions/contributions to our group’s final product, so we can discuss what it will be.
