Dear Colleagues,

We encourage you to submit an abstract to Session ID# 3499 of the 2014 AGU Fall Meeting, entitled "Improving the Simulation of Climate Impacts on Agriculture: AgMIP and Related Research".

Session Description: Agricultural models simulate the effects of climate on crop yields, farm income, and trade, making them important tools for examining food security.  This session will focus on research at the interface of climate, agriculture, and economics, including results from the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP).  Topics of particular interest include the creation of climate and socioeconomic scenarios for agricultural research, statistical and process-based methods of evaluating food production at regional to global scales, the representation of water scarcity, ozone, and nutrition in yield projections, and the use of crop and economic models to explore adaptation and mitigation strategies.

The AGU Fall Meeting is December 15-19, 2014 at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco (http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2014/<http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/>).  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 us.

Best,
