AGU session: GC051 - Collaboratories for Equitable and Resilient Water Futures

[David K]

Dear colleagues,

We will be organizing a session at this year’s AGU Fall Meeting about how collaborative modeling endeavors contribute to planning equitable and resilient water futures. 

 

GC051 - Collaboratories for Equitable and Resilient Water Futures

https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prelim.cgi/Session/228569

 The session abstract is below. Please submit an abstract if you think your research would be a good fit. The abstract deadline is Wednesday, 31 July 2024 (23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT). We hope you can join us at the 2024 AGU Fall Meeting, 9-13 December, in Washington D.C.

 Thanks,

Laurel, James, Victoria, Lisamarie, and Iftikhar

 

Session Abstract:

Managing water and water quality across landscapes to the coast often must balance competing uses amongst agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries, industry, recreation, ecosystems, Tribes, municipalities, and others. In many places, contentious management strategies are further strained by climate change and sea-level rise, and growing recognition of embedded inequities in the status quo demands new planning processes to envision more equitable and resilient futures. Several regions (e.g., California, US Gulf Coast, Chesapeake Bay) are piloting the concept of a collaboratory–a collaborative partnership between academia, agencies, and communities that advances open and integrative modeling and democratizes access to models, data, and planning processes. In this session we seek submissions that discuss the challenges and opportunities in these collaborative modeling endeavors, processes of co-production, how collaboratories are advancing representational, distributional, recognitional, and procedural equity, and how they are yielding creative insights that would not otherwise emerge from more traditional modeling and planning processes.
