Robert E. Mace, Ph.D., P.G., The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Texas State University
There’s a saying in climate circles: If climate is the shark, water is its teeth. Water is a key part of storing and transferring energy and in providing key climatic feedback for temperature and precipitation around the globe. Besides climate, water is interconnected to people through health, agriculture, transportation, industry, power, commercial fishing, recreation & more. Dr. Mace will present the climate-water interconnection and discuss how a warming planet affects each part of the water cycle. He will also discuss how the climate-water nexus has affected our interactions with water and what the future may hold.
