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,
