PA056 - Science to Action: Transformative partnerships to advance decision-relevant science
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/80991
Scientists, decision makers, and communities have accelerated their engagement and collaboration to produce decision-relevant and actionable science. Knowledge brokers and boundary organizations play significant roles in strengthening partnerships and amplifying diverse voices. Together, we continue progress toward science that is actionable and equitable.
In this session, we explore (1) how scientists build and strengthen partnerships within and outside the research community, and (2) how these novel and truly collaborative partnerships lead to decision-relevant tools, resources, or knowledge. We invite on-the-ground stories and experiences, successes and challenges, and best practices that illustrate both increased collaborative capacity and the successful co-production of actionable science including federal, state, local, university, and extension partners, to name a few. Through this collective sharing, we can harness characteristics of effective and transformative partnerships to better understand community needs and deliver stakeholder-driven and decision-relevant science.

H062 - Frontiers in Sustainable Agricultural Water Management
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/82206
Agriculture is heavily reliant on water resources, including rainfall, surface waters, and aquifers. As climate change leads to greater precipitation and temperature variability, supplemental irrigation is increasingly needed to maintain agricultural production. Current research must address management challenges in changing aquifer and river systems used for irrigation, including economic and social values of water, biophysical limits, and environmental constraints. This session will focus on resource decline, sustainability, and responses to variability and climate change, including risk management and adaptation strategies.
