Abstract
Science, policy, and resource management knowledge gaps as they relate to flooding will be addressed by three NCEAS working groups. Specific objectives are to:
- synthesize existing knowledge, incorporating inter-site comparative analyses where appropriate;
- relate results from studies of natural flood disturbances to those of managed floods to devise scientifically sound management prescriptions;
- examine how floods have served as the impetus for policy change and evaluate the effectiveness of those policies; and
- identify needs and design research approaches that can take advantage of new ¿¿¿windows of opportunity¿¿¿.
