Dear Colleagues,
I encourage you and/or your students/post doctoral scholars/team members to
submit an abstract to Session ID# 3268 of the 2014 AGU Fall Meeting,
entitled "Water-Energy-Climate-Food Nexus: Interactions and Implications at
Regional and Global Scales".
Session Description:
Sustainable management of water and agricultural resources is an
overwhelming task, when faced with a rapidly urbanizing global population
with increased demands for food, energy and water. In addition, global
climate change is expected to have major impacts on weather patterns
throughout most of the world which in turn will have a significant impact
on both water resources and agricultural production. Therefore, one of the
most urgent challenges facing many parts of the world is ensuring adequate
water supply of sufficient quality to meet ever-changing human, ecological
and production needs in the face of climate change. This session invites
papers focusing on model based evaluations of sustainable adaptation
strategies by integrating climate, hydrological, biological and social
processes at global and regional scales in the face of a growing population
and the full spectrum of climate change effects.
The AGU Fall Meeting is from December 15-19, 2014 at the Moscone Convention
Center in San Francisco (http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2014/). The deadline
to submit an abstract is August 6, 2014 at 23:59 ET
(https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/webprogrampreliminary/start.html).
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Please circulate
this amongst your colleagues who may be working in a similar domain.
Best,
Debjani Deb, PhD
