CropM International Symposium and Workshop: Modelling climate change impacts on crop production for food security
10-12 Feb 2014
Oslo, Norway
Yin Hoon Chew (UEDIN) participated at the first CropM International Symposium and Workshop in Oslo, Norway. Crop modellers from across the world gathered to discuss current state-of-the-art and future perspectives of crop modelling for climate change risk assessment for the agricultural sector. The research topics addressed included capturing impacts of climatic variability and extreme weather events in crop models, improving the simulation of interactions between abiotic factors (e.g. CO2, temperature, water and nutrient supply), and introducing genotypes into the modelling of phenotypes.
