Call for Abstracts, AGU 2017: H133: Water and Society: Advances in Decision Support for Climate Adaptation in Environmental Systems
Prof. Joseph听Kasprzyk (CU 羞羞视频) and Prof. Jon Herman (UC Davis) are seeking听submissions to their session at the American Geophysical Union (AGU)听2017 meeting in New Orleans, LA.听This is a follow-on session to a similar session from last year's AGU meeting, which got some good submissions. You can find a descriptions of this year's session below.
H133:听Water and Society: Advances in Decision Support for Climate Adaptation in Environmental Systems
Session ID#:听26807
Session Description:
Environmental and water resources systems face increasing stresses from extreme events, exacerbated by climate change and characterized by uncertainty on long planning horizons. Moreover, increasing demands for water supply and stricter standards for drinking water quality and environmental protection motivate the need for improved decision support. Challenges for traditional planning methods include: simulations must capture feedbacks between climate, human decisions, and environmental impacts to earn managers鈥� trust; systems may lack observed data for calibration; and policies must navigate a range of scenarios while balancing tradeoffs among conflicting objectives. We solicit: (1) improved methodology for climate adaptation, including both water supply and quality considerations; (2) advances in decision support in data-scarce contexts, including statistical and machine learning techniques; (3) uncertainty and sensitivity analysis in models of coupled systems; (4) adaptive policy design to cope with irreducible climate uncertainties; and (5) impacts of nonstationary extreme events on energy, agricultural, and ecological systems.
