| Summary: | "This report is published as one of a series of technical inputs to the Third National Climate Assessment (NCA) report."--About this series, page [vii]. "In connection with the U.S. National Climate Assessment scheduled to be completed in 2014, the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) and the National Climate Assessment Development and Advisory Committee (NACDAC) invited technical inputs. Many of hte most substantive inputs were sponsored by USGCRP agencies, reflecting the knowledge and experience represented by their programs. [...] The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) produced three technical input reports: Climate Change and Infrastructure, Urban Systems, and Vulnerabilities; Climate Change and Energy Supply and Demand; and Climate and Energy-Water-Land system interactions. All three reports were based in part on a major national workshop of experts from a wide variety of communities of knowledge and experience, and all three reports were peer-reviewed. This book provides the content of the first of these reports to a broader audience."--Preface, page [xi]. |
