[AgMIP] AGU Session on New Scenario Framework

[agmip at lists.agmip.org]

Hi all,

Please see below for an announcement of an AGU Session that could be a nice place to discuss the application of the RCP/SSP framework in AgMIP studies and the development of RAPs.

Please contact Bas van Ruijven at NCAR for more information.

The New Scenario Framework: Progress and Applications
 At the AGU fall meeting (9-13 December, San Fransico) there will be a session on the SSPs. This session aims at presenting both an overview of the scenario framework and early applications of the framework to research in climate change adaptation and mitigation. The deadline for abstracts submission is 6 August 2013. 
More information and options for abstract submission is available at http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/scientific-program/session-search/sessions/gc030-the-new-scenario-framework-progress-and-applications-2/
 Session description:
 The scientific community is developing a new scenario framework for integrating a range of possible future climate outcomes (based on the Representative Concentration Pathways, RCPs) with a set of alternative pathways of future societal change. This session aims to present the scenario framework, progress to date on development of the societal development pathways, integrated assessment model simulations based on them, and efforts to enhance the relevance of the framework for impact, adaptation and vulnerability researchers. We will solicit additional presentations on early applications of the framework in projects such as AgMIP and ISI-MIP.
