The role of adaptive capacity in incremental and transformative adaptation in three large U.S. Urban water systems
Drought response can catalyze conditions for transformative climate change adaptation. • Trust, collaboration, and public engagement are critical for water system adaptation. • Some actions taken to adapt to drought can reduce future adaptive capacity. • Large urban water systems provide opportunity for learning and experimentation. Urban water systems need to serve increasing numbers of people under a changing climate. Studies of systems facing …
Fires that matter
Increasing fire impacts across North America are associated with climate and vegetation change, greater exposure through development expansion, and less-well studied but salient social vulnerabilities. We are at a critical moment in the contemporary human-fire relationship, with an urgent need to transition from emergency response to proactive measures that build sustainable communities, protect human health, and restore the use of fire necessary…
The New (Ab)Normal
The Anthropocene affects how we manage the environment in many ways, perhaps most importantly by undermining how past conditions act as baselines for future expectations. In a period when historical analogues become less meaningful, we need to forge new practices and methods of environmental monitoring and management, including how to categorize, manage, and analyze the deluge of environmental data. In particular, we need practices to detect emer…
Evaluating Alternative Drought Indicators in a Weather Index Insurance Instrument
Weather index insurance is a popular means of mitigating agricultural risks. Drought is a significant cause of lost agricultural production, and so precipitation index–based plans are common. Simple “percent of normal” indices are often used because they are easy to calculate and communicate to policyholders. However, the ability of such indices to reflect production losses is limited, reducing the ability of insurance to efficiently mitigate ris…

Knowing climate as a social-ecological-atmospheric construct
The dynamics of vulnerability
Recent reports and scholarship suggest that adapting to current climate variability may represent a ‘no regrets’ strategy for adapting to climate change. Addressing ‘adaptation deficits’ and other approaches that target existing vulnerabilities are helpful for responding to current climate variability, but we argue that they may not be sufficient for adapting to climate change. Through a review and unique synthesis of the natural hazards and clim…
Transformational adaptation when incremental adaptations to climate change are insufficient
All human–environment systems adapt to climate and its natural variation. Adaptation to human-induced change in climate has largely been envisioned as increments of these adaptations intended to avoid disruptions of systems at their current locations. In some places, for some systems, however, vulnerabilities and risks may be so sizeable that they require transformational rather than incremental adaptations. Three classes of transformational adap…
Ranchland Ownership Change in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, 1990–2001
Most of the public lands protected for conservation in the western United States are surrounded by working landscapes of various types, typically in agro-pastoral ownership and use. How these working landscapes evolve over time and how their inhabitants respond to various conservation goals will in large measure determine the success or failure of efforts to maintain regional biodiversity. This article contributes to a better understanding of eco…
