Item Wyoming Survey on Climate, Water, and People(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2024-12-19) Landreville, Kristen D.The purpose of the Wyoming Survey on Climate, Water, and People was to understand Wyoming residents' perceptions on changing water resources and weather variability in Wyoming. Topics included perceptions of risk and vulnerability, experience with natural hazards, attitudes about adapting to a changing environment, perceptions of other people’s opinions, trusted information sources for news about water and weather, and support for policy options, community plans, and the use of modeling to adapt to changes. This report was prepared for the Center for Climate, Water, and People (CCWP) and WyACT (Wyoming Anticipating the Climate-Water Transition), which is an interdisciplinary five-year National Science Foundation-funded project led by the University of Wyoming. WyACT partners with Wyoming communities, practitioners, and decision-makers to understand, anticipate, and prepare for significant changes in climate and water and the impacts of those changes on interconnected human and natural systems.Item The Upper Snake River's Climate Future: Scenario Planning for Uncertainty(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2024-08) Ryan, Caitlin M.Our changing climate, and the way society responds to those changes, will have long-term impacts on the health of the Upper Snake River ecosystem and to the human communities who rely on it. To better understand how the linked social and ecological system might change, a group of 42 local experts, planners, researchers and practitioners in natural resource management and conservation gathered for an Exploratory Scenario Planning (XSP) workshop in April 2023. The aim was to collectively build a set of future scenarios about how the watershed might change under climate change, and to develop strategies that might be used to anticipate and adapt to those futures.
