January 26 - 27, 2009

This workshop is part of a planning effort on global drivers of freshwater change funded by the Woods Institute. Our aim is develop a strategic research collaboration, based at Stanford University but involving experts from a variety of institutions, to explore drivers of water-supply vulnerability throughout the world and to use the resulting models and analysis to evaluate solution strategies. The Principal Investigators of this project are Professors Steven Gorelick (Stanford School of Earth Science), Barton Thompson (Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment & Stanford Law School), and Scott Rozelle (Stanford Freeman-Spogli Institute for International Studies & the Woods Institute).

The two-day workshop will include a select group of approximately a dozen to two dozen experts from both within and outside Stanford. The goals of the workshop will be to appraise existing work by related groups, identify missing pieces, build strategic collaborations, elicit feedback on our proposed framework, and discuss the possibility of designing an adaptive platform for "open source" integrated global-regional models that can link to a variety of databases and models.
