  1. CSES Vision & Strategies by Edward L. Miles Bloedel Professor of Marine Studies and Public Affairs Adjunct Professor of Fisheries Senior Fellow & Co-Director CSES/JISAO University of Washington Seattle, Washington CSES Review, 2004

  2. The Principals Group

  3. Columbia River Basin The Climate Impacts Group Areas of study: Water resources Salmon Forests Coasts Motivation: • Increase regional resilience to climate variability and change • Produce science useful to (and used by!) the decision making community; requires close and sustained stakeholder interactions An understanding of the patterns and consequences of past climate variability, policy responses and their impacts is essential for preparing for future changes in climate.

  4. Climate Impacts Science:Design Concept 1 • The study of how climate, natural resources, and human socio-economic systems affect each other • Requires integration of physical and social science research (UW+) and incorporation of stakeholders’ perspective (federal, tribal, state, local)

  5. Climate dynamics Impacts on natural systems Impacts on human systems Human response capabilities VERTICAL ASSESSMENT

  6. Regional Climate Impacts Assessment External Stresses Institutional Barriers • Climate Research Community • Seasonal/interannual climate forecasting • Anthropogenic climate change projections • Diagnostic analysis and interpretation Climate Impacts Group Managed Natural Resource Systems climate Nature • Institutions • - Resource Managers • Policymakers • User Communities CLIMATE IMPACTS SCIENCE humans nature Adaptation & Change Climate Impacts Research is retrospective, contextual, interdisciplinary & integrated

  7. Design Concept 2: Integrated Watershed Analysis Climate change (altered water cycle) Human activities (resource & land use) Climate change Climate change (sea level rise & ocean mixing) Human activities (aquaculture, development) Freshwater habitat (water quality, quantity & timing) Human activities (fishing) Health & Viability of PNW salmon Estuarine habitat (water quality, mixing processes) Ocean habitat
