<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI Historic",sans-serif">Abstract: There has been a focus on measuring and defining climate adaptation effectiveness both as an academic pursuit and as a goal of international climate policy
processes. However, defining adaptation success is a challenging goal, because of differing baselines, time frames for analysis, perspectives of actors, and value orientations. This talk will review these challenges, raise questions, and suggest paths forward
for future research and practice for setting climate adaptation goals and evaluating success.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. The Western Water Assessment is a NOAA Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessment that studies and facilitates the use of climate information in decision making in the Intermountain
West. Her scholarship focuses on decision making, the use of information, and science policy, to understand how we can best manage climate and weather risks. Her research topics include drought and urban water management, climate adaptation in cities and on
public lands, carbon management, and geoengineering governance. She holds a PhD in biology from the University of California Santa Barbara.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
