The CEE 500 (Environmental/Water Resources) Seminar for Thursday, October 3,
will be held at 3:30 pm in More 225.  The seminar speakers are Professor
Richard Palmer, and Graduate Students Margaret Hahn, Kasey Kudamik, Michael
Miller, Jae-Hyeon Ryu, Nathan Van Rheenen, Kari Vigerstol, and Matthew
Wiley.

The title of the presentation is:

Current Activities in the "Water Resources Planning and Management Group" in
the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Abstract:
In the spirit of the Fall Seminar Series, this presentation will introduce
the entering graduate student to the research activities of Dr. Palmer and
his graduate students.  The unifying vision of the research is the
application of systems analysis tools to water resources conflicts.  Two
themes will be addressed in the presentations, the impacts of climate change
on water resources systems and the development of decision support tools to
resolve water resource conflicts.  These themes will be demonstrated with
applications to the following settings: an international dispute over water
in the Rio Bravo basin, a national dispute over the construction of a new
dam (Kum River basin in Korea), the impacts of climate change on a municipal
water supply (City of Portland, Oregon), the impacts of climate change on
irrigation and hydropower (the Sacramento-San Joaquin river basin), and the
use of climate forecasts to predict water supply conditions (Puget Sound
basin).
