Workshop Agenda

Climate change has major implications for rainfall and water resources. This workshop will emphasize the communication of uncertainty about hydrology – storms and hurricanes, droughts, changes in annual rainfall and its seasonality, runoff, and river flow. Spatial and temporal variations in the regional hydrocycle dwarf those in regional temperature in terms of their importance for policy-making decisions, and uncertainties in the hydrocycle dwarf uncertainties in temperature in climate modeling.

The conference will host presenters who are natural scientists and commentators from the social sciences. Discussions will center on the implications of the hydrological findings for politics and society in particular regions and offer suggestions for the type of natural science research that would be most important for scholars and policymakers concerned with the implications of climate change for those regions.
