[AgMIP] Agriculture and Climate Session at AGU Fall Meeting

[agmip at lists.agmip.org]

Dear Colleagues,

We encourage you to submit an abstract to Session GC027 of the 2012 AGU Fal=
l Meeting, entitled: Improving the Simulation of Climate Impacts on Agricul=
ture: AgMIP and Related Research.

Session Description: Agricultural models have the ability to simulate the e=
ffects of climate on crop yields and trade, making them important tools for=
 examining food security.  This session will focus on research that develop=
s the interface between climate, agriculture, and economics, including resu=
lts from the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (Ag=
MIP).  Topics of particular interest include the creation of climate scenar=
ios for agricultural research, comparisons between statistical and process-=
based methods of evaluating food production, model uncertainty assessments,=
 the aggregation of point-based crop model results, and methods of using ag=
ricultural economic models to inform adaptation strategies.

The 2012 AGU Fall Meeting is December 3-7, 2012 at the Moscone Convention C=
enter in San Francisco.

The deadline to submit an abstract is August 8, 2012, 23:59 Eastern Dayligh=
t Time.  AGU will not accept late submissions.  To submit an abstract, you =
must be an AGU member or sponsored by an AGU member.  If none of the author=
s on your abstract are AGU members, let us know and we can sponsor your sub=
mission.
