2009 AWRA Spring Specialty Conference

2009
Climate is changing ... more frequent and extreme weather events, droughts in the southeastern and western states, potential for increasing flooding and coastal erosion damage, increasing irrigation and depletion of aquifers, and melting permafrost and reductions in arctic sea ice in Alaska. The importance of understanding the resource management challenges these changes present is greater than ever before.

Come join us to discuss and connect on these issues on the 10th anniversary of the 1999 Specialty Conference. We will have a full agenda covering water-resource issues from around the country set in the backdrop of America's frontier, Alaska, during its fiftieth year since statehood.


Presentations will be given on the following topics, among others:
  • Current State of Changing Climate Understanding
  • Relationships between Changing Climate and Water Resources
  • Water Supply and Water Use Management
  • Changing Water Resources and Ecosystem Impacts
  • Water and Energy
  • International Boundary Water-Resources Issues Associated with Changing Climate
  • 10 Years of Progress or Uncertainty?
