| Alaska SouthCentral Test Case: Adaptive Capacity in Communities of the Kenai River Watershed | Society, Biota, Climatology | Meteorology | Atmosphere, Economy, Environment, Geoscientific Information | EPSCoR | The Southcentral test case will examine interactive drivers and patterns of change in ‘messy’ SES, the effects of these interactions, and the factors contributing to community response and adaptation in six communities on the road network: Kenai, Soldotna, Sterling, Cooper Landing, Moose Pass, and Seward. Primary changes in river hydrology include discharge, water temperature, and sedimentation, while landcover changes include urbanization, resource extraction infrastructure, drying wetlands, and forest fires. Test case research objectives are: Understand how… read more |
