CLIMATE CHANGE 1-DAY SYMPOSIUM - September 5!
This unprecedented symposium is designed to provide an insightful, state-of-the-art look into the status of climate change research and investigationsin California, with a focus on regulatory and legal implications to floodplain management. It includes up-to-date discussions on the salient studies, investigations, and research initiatives including the challenges associated with hydrologic modeling, the uncertainties of future source area hydrologic response, and the physical/infrastructure, natural resource, economic, and socio-cultural risks to floodplain managers and system-wide flood control operators. An open forum with scientists, regulators and policy experts will provide invaluable opportunities for dialogue on challenges, opportunities and recommendations.
