AWRA held its Spring Specialty Conference in Anchorage, Alaska this year. The subject was, appropriately enough, Managing Water Resources and Development in a Changing Climate. The bottom line is, if you’re a cold-weather species, life is going to get harder. The change of Administration was obvious, as the meeting was filled with US agency researchers who now seemed to have the funding to actively participate in this activity. I had several good talks about potential featured collections for JAWRA.
Though a random variation, not persistent change, the Alaskan weather was glorious — sunny, high 60′s. A rerouted field trip to Seward and Resolution Bay provided a fantastic chance to see the wildlife.
