The “Nuts and Bolts” of Doing Coproduction: Exploring Implementation Decisions in Climate Adaptation Research with Stakeholders Open
Developing local climate adaptation strategies that respond to weather and climate extremes is increasingly salient. Coproducing knowledge and climate adaptation strategies can be an important approach to ensuring that they are context spe…
The role of adaptive capacity in incremental and transformative adaptation in three large U.S. Urban water systems Open
Urban water systems need to serve increasing numbers of people under a changing climate. Studies of systems facing extreme events, such as drought, can clarify the nature of adaptive capacity and whether this might support incremental (mar…
Reflecting Sunlight: Recommendations for Solar Geoengineering Research and Research Governance Open
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report "Reflecting Sunlight: Recommendations for Solar Geoengineering Research and Research Governance" focused on three atmospheric-based Solar Geoengineering strategie…
The Critical Role of Communities of Practice and Peer Learning in Scaling Hydroclimatic Information Adoption Open
Significant effort has been put into advancing the use and usability of information products to support adaptation to drought and climate variability, particularly for the water supply sector. Evidence and experience show that advancing th…
Scaling Knowledge Innovation to Smaller Water Providers: A Focus on Communities of Practice Open
The past 2 decades of research has demonstrated the value of co-production as a process that creates information that is usable to decision makers. However, research has also shown that those organizations that are already larger, more tec…
Drought in urban water systems: Learning lessons for climate adaptive capacity Open
In this paper we examine current policies to combat drought in urban areas in the United States to illuminate lessons learned for building climate adaptive capacity. We conducted interviews with practitioners involved in drought management…
Social Sciences, Weather, and Climate Change Open
Few currently deny that extreme weather and climate change are among the most pressing problems of our times. There is also general agreement that humans are intrinsically part of the problem and of the solution. For the past hundred years…
Making sense of climate engineering: a focus group study of lay publics in four countries Open
This study explores sense-making about climate engineering among lay focus group participants in Japan, New Zealand, the USA and Sweden. In total, 23 qualitative focus group interviews of 136 participants were conducted. The analyses consi…
The role of U.S. states in facilitating effective water governance under stress and change Open
Worldwide water governance failures undermine effective water management under uncertainty and change. Overcoming these failures requires employing more adaptive, resilient water management approaches; yet, while scholars have advance theo…
