[AgMIP] DSSAT 2012 - International Training Program

[agmip at lists.agmip.org]

The University of Georgia, in collaboration with Washington State 
University, the University of Florida and various other institutions, 
will host a Training Program on DSSAT entitled "Assessing Crop 
Production, Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk and Environmental 
Sustainability with Simulation Models" from May 14 through May 19, 2012 
at the University of Georgia Campus in Griffin, Georgia, USA. The 
overall goal of the workshop is to familiarize the workshop participants 
with the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) and 
the Cropping System Model (CSM) for the simulation of crop growth and 
yield, soil and plant water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics, and the 
application of models to real world problems, such as crop and resource 
management, climate change and climate variability, carbon 
sequestration, food security, biofuels, and environmental 
sustainability. For further information, please visit the DSSAT 
Foundation web site at www.dssat.net or the workshop registration web
