Maureen McCarthy is executive director of the Academy for the Environment at University of Nevada, Reno. Two of the Academy's most recent projects involve working closely with farmers, water districts,and tribal communities to get a sense of how variations in climate affect the water they depend upon, and what can be done to mitigate those impacts.
McCarthy spoke with us about the researchers' findings so far, and what they might mean for climate adaptation in the Sierra Nevada region.
