359 Climate Variability and Change: Challenges & Opportunities for Research and Extension

Oral Session
A03 Agroclimatology & Agronomic Modeling
How do Extension services develop information to help managers in agriculture, forestry and water resources reduce risks associated with climate variability and change? This session showcases cooperative extension efforts to develop and transfer adaptation and mitigation strategies aimed at helping producers and natural resource managers cope with seasonal climate variability and address longer-term climate change challenges
