"Climate Change and Water Resources: Background Material - Dr. Kirshen's Activities at Tufts:
CLIMB is part of a larger, longer-term commitment of Tufts to understanding the societal implications of changing water resource use and availability. Human activity can seriously alter the quantity and the quality of water in watersheds and in the estuaries and coastal areas that receive their discharge. This can, in turn, have major consequences for the health of humans that depend on those waters as well as the sustainability of the ecological and socio-economic systems in which they live. To meet this challenge, Tufts University has launched the Water: Systems, Science, and Society (WSSS) Ph.D. and MA/MS Program. The purpose of the WSSS program is to provide the multidisciplinary perspectives and tools to manage water related problems. The vision of the WSSS Interdisciplinary Research and Graduate Education Program is to contribute to the resolution of challenging water resource issues through research programs, the education of future leaders in water related research and professional practice, and engagement in professional and public service activities related to water. The program is founded on the principle that water problems are fundamentally interdisciplinary in nature, and solutions require an integrated approach employing engineering and the natural, physical, and social sciences. |
