Interdisciplinary synthesis of recent natural and managed floods
Principal Investigators:
William K. Michener, and Richard HaeuberScience, 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... more
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¿¿¿.
