H32C:
Food, Energy, and Water Nexus: Synergies and Tradeoffs II

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 17286

Session Description:
Rapid socioeconomic growth has significantly increased the simultaneous demands for food, energy, and water (FEW) resources, making it increasingly important to understand synergies and tradeoffs in this complex, coupled system. This session will focus on recent scientific advancements in our understanding of the FEW nexus to provide a venue for submissions studying the FEW nexus through a variety of methodologies, such as with theoretical, empirical, and computational approaches. We welcome interdisciplinary submissions that explore the complexities of the FEW nexus, its response to internal and external variability, potential nexus vulnerabilities, and opportunities to enhance the resiliency of the system and resource sustainability.
