This panel discussion will offer a chance to interact with a panel of esteemed colleagues that are active in the development of new methods related to climate change and extreme events. The panel will have 5-7 speakers who will offer their insights in 7 minutes opening remarks and then interact with the audience on the new methods and gaps remaining that research can address, and areas in need of additional exploration to help water management navigate a highly variable and uncertain 21st century that is expected to include more extreme events.
