Session 15B Incorporating Climate Change into Water Resources Decision Making: Laying Out a Multiscale Plan

Thursday, 16 January 2025: 1:45 PM-3:00 PM
210 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)
Host: 39th Conference on Hydrology
Chair:
David Paul Keeney
CoChair:
Kent Walker, Bureau of Reclamation, Water Resources Engineering and Management, Denver, CO

This session calls for research and papers on the role of climate change informed decision making in the water resources community. Papers discussing methods to reduce uncertainty in the estimation and forecasting of potential changes in heavy precipitation, runoff, snowmelt, and other hydrologic drivers near dams are especially encouraged. The goal of this session is to give climate change experts and decision-makers technical guidance and methodology so they may use the current global climate models to make well-informed decisions about water resources across various temporal and spatial scales.
