Session Title:
Toward Better Understanding of the Impacts of Climate Variability on Agricultural Decision-Making and Longer-term Adaptation
Session Description:
Climate variability (CV) is a critical driver of year-to-year impacts on agricultural systems. To properly understand its ecological impacts, it is necessary to quantify how managed ecosystems have historically responded to CV, and to characterize the uncertainty in projected biophysical impacts. In agricultural systems, assessing impacts of CV also requires understanding dynamics of farmer decision-making and adaptation in the face of both biophysical and economic uncertainty. Here we seek new efforts to quantify both historical and future impacts of CV on different types of agricultural systems varying by crop, farm size/intensification and climate/soils, including: i) empirical/process-based methods for estimating CV impacts across multiple spatiotemporal scales; ii) methods for forecasting the impact of CV on agricultural response at relevant scales; iii) translating forecasts into useful decision support for farmers and policy-makers; iv) attributing farmer responses to CV with respect to socioeconomic and ecological circumstances.
Submission Deadline: Wednesday, 1 August 23:59 EDT.
Hope to see you there!

Dear colleague,
I’m writing to invite you to submit an abstract to the American Geophysical Union Fall 2018 Conference Session GC083: Sustainability Science and Globalized Human-Environment Systems. This session focuses on work that reveals the increased connectivity and globalization of human-environment systems. You can find more details and and submit an abstract here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm18/prelim.cgi/Session/46017.
We would welcome your submission and want to encourage you to share this session with anyone else who may be interested. The abstract submission site is now open and the deadline for all submissions is Wednesday, 1 August 23:59 EDT.
I hope to see you in Washington, DC in December!
Sincerely,
Anjuli Jain Figueroa
