The time is ripe for a comprehensive mission to explore and document Earth's species. This calls campaign educate inspire the next generation of professional citizen species explorers, investments in cyber-infrastructure collections meet unique needs producers consumers taxonomic information, formation coordination multi-institutional, international, transdisciplinary community researchers, scholars engineers with shared objective creating inventory detailed map biosphere. We conclude that...
Managing water for sustainable use and economic development is both a technical governance challenge in which knowledge production sharing play central role. This article evaluates compares the role of participatory scientific information decision-making four basins Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, United States. Water management institutions each have evolved during last 10–20 years from relatively centralized water-management structure at state or national level to decision that involves engaging...
This paper discusses the evolution of scientific and social understanding that has led to development knowledge systems supporting application El Niñ o -Southern Oscillation (ENSO) forecasts, including successful efforts connect climate predictions with sectoral applications actions “on ground”. The “boundary-spanning” activities science decisionmaking is then discussed, setting stage for a report outcomes from an international workshop comprised producers, translators, users predictions....
Abstract In many regions around the world, Regional Climate Outlook Forums (RCOFs) provide seasonal climate information and forecasts to decision-makers at regional national levels. Despite having two decades of experience, forums have not been systematically monitored or evaluated. To address this gap, better inform nascent widespread efforts in services, authors propose a process-oriented evaluation framework derived from literature on decision support communication production use...
Abstract It has been estimated that severe El Nino–related flooding and droughts in Africa, Latin America, North Southeast Asia resulted more than 22 000 lives lost excess of $36 billion damages during 1997–98. As one the most events this century, 1997–98 Nino was unique not only terms physical magnitude, but also human response. This response made possible by recent advances climate–observing forecasting systems, creation dissemination forecast information institutions such as International...
Abstract Calibrated probabilistic forecasts of weekly rainfall were developed for the state Bihar in northern India and issued real time during June–September 2018 monsoon period, up to 2 weeks advance. The are based on subseasonal from U.S. National Centers Environmental Prediction CFSv2 model calibrated against observed gridded fields Meteorological Department using canonical correlation analysis. Hindcasts over 1999–2010 period exhibit appreciable skill at Week 1 lead (Days 3–9), with...
Disastrous floods in the twin cities of Nogales, Arizona, USA, and Sonora, Mexico (collectively referred to as Ambos Nogales) occur annually response monsoonal summer rains. Flood-related hazards include property damage, impairment sewage systems, discharge, water contamination, erosion, loss life. Flood risk, particularly is amplified by informal, "squatter" settlements watershed floodplain associated development infrastructure. The expected increase precipitation intensity, resulting from...
Abstract Little has been documented about the benefits and impacts of recent growth in climate services, despite a growing call to justify their value stimulate investment. Regional Climate Outlook Forums (RCOFs), an integral part public private enterprise have implemented over last 20 years with objectives producing disseminating seasonal forecasts inform improved risk management adaptation. In proposing guidance on how measure success RCOFs, we offer three broad evaluative categories that...

The most visible manifestation of climate change in the American Southwest is its effects on water resources. Since 1999, region's supplies and major rivers have been tested by burgeoning population growth drought. Model projections suggest increasing drought severity duration due to rising temperatures, increased evapotranspiration, enhanced atmospheric circulation from tropics (Hadley circulation). Arizona Water Institute, State University, University convened a “knowledge network” local,...
