Beschreibung:
Kathleen A. Miller is an economist working at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, in the Climate Science and Applications Program. She conducts research on climate impacts, vulnerability, and adaptation. Her work focuses especially on natural resource governance and adaptation planning under uncertainty and on modeling interactions between human strategic behavior and dynamic natural systems. She is the author of numerous papers on the management of water, fisheries, and other natural resources in the context of climate variability and prospective climate change.
Growing populations, limited water availability, and changing social values have increased the complexity of water resource planning. Water providers and other stakeholders are struggling to understand the impacts of global climate change on water supplies, water demands and vulnerability of source-area environmental resources and socio-ecological systems. This book provides insights on these issues and describes strategies for building adaptive capacity while improving environmental stewardship. It helps readers understand patterns of water availability, existing policy problems and the potential impacts of climate change.
