  1. Climate change and climate variability: personal motivation for adaptation and mitigation

    Background: Global climate change impacts on human and natural systems are predicted to be severe, far reaching, and to affect the most physically and economically vulnerable disproportionately. Society can...

  2. Disjointed Cosmopolitanism: Climate Change and Lived Experience in Portland, Oregon

    Climate change has emerged as one of the most significant issues facing the world. This research endeavored to uncover and describe the lived experience of Portland, Oregon residents in relation to the...

  3. Identifying Surface Transportation Vulnerabilities and Risk Assessment Opportunities Under Climate Change

    Transportation departments are beginning to recognize that adaptation for climate change must become an integral part of their planning efforts. However, staff members frequently lack the adequate local data,...

  4. Managing for Resistance and Resilience of Northern Great Lakes Forests to the Effects of Climate Change

    Climate change is expected to drastically change the environmental conditions which forests depend. Lags in tree species movements will likely be outpaced by a more rapidly changing climate. This may result in...

  5. Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Flood-Induced Travel Disruptions: A Case Study of Portland, Oregon, USA

    This study investigated potential impacts of climate change on travel disruption resulting from road closures in two urban watersheds in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area. We used ensemble climate change...
