Dissertation
title:
Building
Scenarios of
Adaptive Capacity: Case Studies of Community Water Systems
in Central Pennsylvania
Why am I studying drinking water systems and their capacities to adapt
to climate change? Because I became a geographer to develop solutions
to climate change-related problems that are accessible to
non-academics, I prefer to explain it without jargon. Water systems
address a lot of issues, and they have little time to think about how
these concerns might
change in the future. I am working with water system managers to
develop a
process that will make it easier for them to explore how they think the
area
might change, how well their systems might be able respond, and how
climate change might affect their plans.
For those who prefer the extended, slightly more jargon-y version of my
dissertation research description, you can find it here.

Meetings of the Association of American Geographers (AAG)!
