The intent of the Climate-Aquatics Blog was to aggregate, interpret & disseminate climate change related information among the global freshwater community so that the rate of understanding and adaptation was accelerated. By doing so through a series of semi-coherent, often offbeat, blog posts over the span of 5 years, the hope was to develop a common consciousness about key uncertainties, vulnerabilities, and possibilities, and the need to develop rigorous information for decision making and investment strategies so that aquatic ecosystems were efficiently conserved, managed, and preserved for future generations. Many of the ideas contained in the blog had their roots in studies conducted by myself or colleagues in the Rocky Mountains of the American West where the landscapes often, and continually, inspire. Hyperlinks to blog posts are arranged in thematic modules below, and each post links to additional science resources on specific topics.
To post comments and read those of others, however, you'll first have to join the Climate-Aquatics Group
(you'll only have to do this the first time).
To join, follow these steps:
1) on the right side of the page, click on "Join this group"
2) Create your account information with Google user name & password,
3) Add your "nickname",
4) Pick one of the four available options for how you'll read this group (I'd advise against the bottom one that sends a new email every time a comment is added to a discussion thread),
5) Select "Join this group" at the bottom of the page, and
6) Click on the discussion topic hyperlink and you should now be able to post comments to the discussion thread.
