Title: Symposium--Model Applications in Field Research

Lead Community Sponsor: Model Applications in Field Research Community
Cosponsor: Climatology & Modeling
Community Cosponsor: Global Climate Change Community, Soil-Plant-Water Relations Community
Format: Oral Symposium
Keywords: Managing climate changeModels to help managementOptimizing water use

Session Description: This half-day symposium will have three inter-reated themes: a. Water balance at field and root-zone scales; modeling to help enhance effectiveness of water; climate change implications b. Bridging knowledge gaps between models and experiments/observations c. Evaluation of uncertainty and error in models The goal is to enhance understanding of complexities and uncertainties in using models in field research, especially for making the best use of limited water and managing climate change.
