A special issue of Climate Risk Management focuses on the role that boundary organizations narrow knowledge gaps to support adaptation, but also build capacity and networks that strengthen societal resilience. For the past five years, the Great Lakes Integrated Sciences + Assessments (GLISA), NOAA’s Great Lakes RISA office, has experimented with the boundary chains concept and approach.
CPO’s Roger Pulwarty is lead author on a new paper–“Adaptation Challenges in Complex Rivers: The Guadiana and the Colorado Basins,”–in Water Resources Management.
