November 3rd, 2015 Telecon: Discussion Notes

Bill's notes (link above) do a great job summarizing the discussion, linking to specific outside sources, and highlighting Action Items.

Overall, this telecon meeting was to discuss our 2 ESIP Winter Meeting Session Proposals and identifying possible collaborations (for ESIP winter meeting or in the future) with Food Energy Water (FEW) nexus and Climate Corporation.

First Session Proposal (Workshop of CRT Case Studies): Discussion
