WATER: Society and a Changing Climate

Kevin Anchukaitis

Our society's most significant challenges from climate change will be those involving water - both too much causing flooding and too little causing droughts. What can lessons from past civilizations tell us about the dangers we face and how we might adapt? In this talk, we take a tour around the globe to explore how climate change alters the planet's water cycle, how societies past and present have responded, and the challenges we face in the future.
