Improving the contribution of climate model information to decision making: the value and demands of robust decision frameworks
In this paper, we review the need for, use of, and demands on climate modeling to support
so‐called 'robust'decision frameworks, in the context of improving the contribution of climate …

Projected evolution of California's San Francisco Bay-Delta-River system in a century of climate change
Background Accumulating evidence shows that the planet is warming as a response to
human emissions of greenhouse gases. Strategies of adaptation to climate change will …

Carbon sequestration and sediment accretion in San Francisco Bay tidal wetlands
JC Callaway, EL Borgnis, RE Turner, CS Milan - Estuaries and Coasts, 2012 - Springer
Tidal wetlands play an important role with respect to climate change because of both their
sensitivity to sea-level rise and their ability to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere …
