Workshop
Climate Change and Water Cycle, and Communicating Uncertainty
March 30–31, 2012
Bowl 1, Robertson Hall
Princeton University
Workshop Agenda

Climate change has major implications for rainfall and water resources. This workshop will emphasize the communication of uncertainty about hydrology – storms and hurricanes, droughts, changes in annual rainfall and its seasonality, runoff, and river flow. Spatial and temporal variations in the regional hydrocycle dwarf those in regional temperature in terms of their importance for policy-making decisions, and uncertainties in the hydrocycle dwarf uncertainties in temperature in climate modeling.
