Economic Value of Flood Forecasts and Early Warning Systems: A Review
As population growth, economic development, and climate change increase the risks of inland flooding across the US and worldwide, a range of flood mitigation approaches must be considered and evaluated, including flood forecast and early warning systems (FFEWS). Cost–benefit analysis (CBA) has long been used to scrutinize flood mitigation investments, and although most applications have addressed physical infrastructure projects, a growing body o…
Geographic variation in projected US forest aboveground carbon responses to climate change and atmospheric deposition
Forest composition and ecosystem services are sensitive to anthropogenic pressures like climate change and atmospheric deposition of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S). Here we extend recent forest projections for the current cohort of trees in the contiguous US, characterizing potential changes in aboveground tree carbon at the county level in response to varying mean annual temperature, precipitation, and N and S deposition. We found that relative to …
Valuing water service reliability and in-home water storage: A hedonic price model from Guatemala
A Participatory Science Approach to Evaluating Factors Associated with the Occurrence of Metals and PFAS in Guatemala City Tap Water
Limited information is available regarding chemical water quality at the tap in Guatemala City, preventing individuals, water utilities, and public health authorities from making data-driven decisions related to water quality. To address this need, 113 participants among households served by a range of water providers across the Guatemala City metropolitan area were recruited as participatory scientists to collect first-draw and flushed tap water…
Projecting U.S. forest management, market, and carbon sequestration responses to a high-impact climate scenario
The impact of climate change on forest ecosystems remains uncertain, with wide variation in potential climate impacts across different radiative forcing scenarios and global circulation models, as well as potential variation in forest productivity impacts across species and regions. This study uses an empirical forest composition model to estimate the impact of climate factors (temperature and precipitation) and other environmental parameters on …
Food, energy, and water nexus research in Guatemala – A systematic literature review
The interconnectedness of food, energy, and water systems – commonly referred as the FEW nexus - calls for the integrated study of these systems to improve resiliency of these natural resources and adapt to our changing world. In this article, we explore the state of FEW nexus research in Guatemala to highlight progress while also pointing out future research needs. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify peer-reviewed articles a…
What are Households Willing to Pay for Improved Water Access? Results from a Meta-Analysis
Combining expert elicitation and stated preference methods to value ecosystem services from improved lake water quality
Structural benefit transfer: An example using VSL estimates
