California State Vulnerability and Adaptation Study Released at Long Last

The California State Vulnerability and Adaptation Study is finally out! Seven months after it was due to be released, it was launched yesterday (July 31, 2012). I'm not entirely sure what the delay was, but I'm relieved it's out. My component was done almost a year ago, with research centering on an event that took place in January 2011-- the Future of Wild Marin, a scenario planning workshop.

• Read my report on decision-making tools for resource managers facing climate change (167 p. , 2 MB)  
• The V&A Study's 14-page summary document 
•  See a list with links to all 35 studies that comprise the State V&A Study

 Yesterday's press release calls this the "third assessment," so I asked the project coordinator for links to the first two:

• Read the first assessment's non-technical summary from July 2006;  
• See a list with links to the documents comprising the second assessment, which was not peer-reviewed, from 2009 - called the "Climate Action Team Biennial Report to the Governor and Legislature" or "CAT Report"

Go California climate researchers!
