Dear Colleagues,
Please consider submitting an abstract to the Fall AGU session GC08, Integrated Earth Systems Modeling at Global and Regional Scales. Session Description: For decision makers to steer important industries such as forestry and agriculture, they need to understand the effects of human activity on the complex interactions between atmospheric, hydrologic, and biogeochemical cycles, particularly at finer temporal and spatial scales than have been previously available. Integrated Earth Science models that address these issues are important decision support tools. Significant challenges face us, including increasing the utility of models to both policy makers and the scientists. The proposed session will focus on the strategies being employed to integrate component models, treatment of anthropogenic activities, methods used to elicit stakeholder involvement, and model evaluation. Invited Speakers: James Byrne, University of Lethbridge Alex Guenther, NCAR Kathy Hibbard, PNNL Peter Thornton, UCAR Please note that the due date for abstracts this year is August 4. Thank you!
