From an email to CUAHSI members today:<\/p>\n
A quick reminder that we invite you to join us for a special CUAHSI Cyberseminar this Thursday at a special time <\/b>hosted by Roy Haggerty,\u00a0 Tom Meixner, and Patrick Belmont, members of the Water, Sustainability and Climate\u00a0 (WSC) community.<\/p>\n
Thursday, January 23rd, 2 -3 PM ET<\/b><\/p>\n
Dr. Thomas Johnson<\/p>\n
EPA Office of Research and Development<\/p>\n
Watershed Modeling to Assess\u00a0 the Sensitivity of Streamflow, Nutrient, and Sediment Loads\u00a0to\u00a0 Potential Climate Change and Urban Development in 20 U.S. Watersheds<\/p>\n
Join the seminar at: http:\/\/cuahsi.adobeconnect.com\/cyberseminar\/<\/a><\/p>\n
Dr. Johnson will discuss the release of the final report released by EPA this fall. From the release:<\/p>\n
“There is growing concern about the potential effects of climate change on water resources. To develop this report, watershed modeling was conducted in 20 large U.S. watersheds to characterize the sensitivity of streamflow, nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus), and sediment loading to a range of plausible mid-21st century climate change and urban development scenarios. The report also provides an improved understanding of methodological challenges associated with integrating existing tools (e.g., climate models, downscaling approaches, and watershed models) and data sets to address these scientific questions. To view the study and related links,\u00a0visit: http:\/\/cfpub.epa.gov\/ncea\/global\/recordisplay.cfm?deid=256912<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
Please join us on January 23rd. Dr. Johnson will present on the results of the report, and there will be a Q&A following the presentation.<\/p>\n
