I. Assessment Methods, Products and Tools
Development of new methods and tools for climate and weather impacts
assessment builds bridges between NCAR's geophysical sciences and
impacts research, and facilitates dialogue between academics and
practitioners. Climate scenario development, statistical and GIS
methods, and simulation tools - all are actively developed and
deployed by ISSE's staff and collaborators.
The projects listed below have Assessment Methods, Products, and Tools as their primary research theme.

charted in advance, it will have to be navigated through trial and error and conscious experimentation. The urgent need is to
design strategies and institutions that can better integrate incomplete knowledge with experimental action into programs of
adaptive management and social learning." |
