GC41I:
How Can Global Change Research Inform National Security Decision-Making? Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 53085

Session Description:
Increasing attention is being paid to the potential risks that global change poses to national security. These risks may be direct- for example, through impacts on national security assets- or indirect- through geopolitical impacts resulting from changes in food, water, and energy availability; changes in economic growth and development; increased risks to human health; and changes in strategic environments. Global change research can inform national security decision-making by advancing understanding and prediction of global change. Progress is constrained, however, by the undersampling of the environment, gaps in our understanding of key processes, and limitations in modeling of natural and human systems. This session welcomes abstracts showcasing substantive contributions research makes to national security issues, as well as current outstanding science needs. Potential topics include development of observations, process studies, and Earth system prediction capabilities, as well as research in important thematic areas, such as human health or the food-energy-water nexus.
