Global Climate Risks and Adaptation
Evaluating water security to develop long-term risk portfolios for planning needs
Social Vulnerability
Assessing vulnerability of livelihoods in the United States and abroad
Stakeholder Engagement
Identifying and engaging with key actors who make, influence, or are impacted by a series of institutional decisions
The Socio-Hydrology Team conducts interdisciplinary studies spanning socioeconomic, hydrologic and climate science. Applying qualitative and quantitative approaches, we help stakeholders identify and assess a suite of water and climate risks. Our methodology provides a means for resource managers, practitioners, and communities to analyze and evaluate risks, vulnerability, and resiliency to complement existing institutional planning.
