US EPA Integrated Modeling Workshop
Increased temperature, sea level rise, altered precipitation patterns, and changes in air and water quality are among the emerging climate change impacts facing our nation. Taking action on climate change requires cross-media, transdisciplinary tools and an integrated systems-analysis modeling approach.
On February 1 and 2, 2011 the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Council for Regulatory Environmental Modeling held a workshop on Integrated Modeling to Characterize Climate Change Impacts and Support Decision Making in Atlanta, GA. The workshop facilitated the use of integrated modeling to inform and improve local, regional and national policy decisions relevant to climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. EFETAC's Template for Assessing Climate Change Impacts and Management Options (TACCIMO) and Comparative Risk Assessment Framework and Tools (CRAFT) were highlighted.
