[AgMIP] DSSAT 2013 International Training Workshop

[agmip at lists.agmip.org]

The DSSAT Foundation, in collaboration with Washington State University, 
the University of Florida, the International Fertilizer Development 
Center, the University of Georgia, and various other institutions, will 
host a Training Program on DSSAT entitled DSSAT 2013 - "Assessing Crop 
Production, Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk and Environmental 
Sustainability with Simulation Models" from May 20 through May 25, 2013 
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.
