Conference Home I View Topics I Submit Abstract I Hotel Info
This American Water Resources Association (AWRA) specialty conference will bring together decision-makers, water managers and technical professionals from federal, state, and local agencies, academia, non-governmental organizations and the private sector to focus on the following key questions:
- What climate adaptation strategies, decision-making approaches, planning and evaluation methods do water managers and water professionals need to prepare for climate change impacts on water resources?
- What kinds of assessment and planning approaches do we need, what kind of solutions may be available, how much will they cost, what kinds of institutional adaptation may be necessary, and what might be the environmental and socioeconomic impacts and considerations that need to be taken into account?
While this conference is intended to bring together a wide range of decision-makers, managers, scientists, engineers and others, our desire is to weave three specific concepts throughout the conference:
- Enabling informed decision making under heightened uncertainty
- Assessment of climate change impacts in light of technical issues and other water management drivers
- Developing robust and flexible adaptive management approaches

US Geological Survey Public Lecture Series
12201 Sunrise Valley Dr., Reston, VA Wednesday, November 3, 2010, 7:00 PM Eruptions: Volcanoes in America's Past, Present and Future
By Peter Dr. John Eichelberger
Volcanic eruptions around the world have always been a part of human history, and the American experience is no exception. Benjamin Franklin signed the Treaty of Paris, ending the Revolutionary War, under a pall of Icelandic volcanic ash. The greatest eruption of the 20th century buried Kodiak, Alaska, under ash. More recently, Mount St Helens' massive eruption changed Americans' view of eruptions as something that happens in other countries. It also transformed how USGS studies volcanoes. USGS scientists can detect the unrest that leads to eruption weeks to months in advance. This year, the USGS is launching the National Volcano Early Warning System program, which will establish monitoring networks on all hazardous U.S. volcanoes, to reduce the effects of volcanic hazards to communities, commerce, and aviation.
Migratory Bird Habitat Initiative
The Migratory Bird Habitat Initiative is an unprecedented effort created by USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service that began in June when oil was still spilling from the Deepwater Horizon well. The initiative mobilized private landowners to help create alternative and additional habitats to provide healthy food and resting areas for shorebirds, waterfowl and other birds headed for the Gulf. The initial goal was to enroll 150,000 acres. After landowners expressed extremely strong interest in the program, funding was doubled to $40 million enabling enrollment to reach a total over three times the initial goal. Nearly 500,000 acres are now enrolled in the program.
