Prof. Fletcher’s AGU journal article among the top 10% downloaded in 2020!
In July 2020, Prof. Sarah Fletcher’s co-authored journal article Climate adaptation as a control problem: Review and perspectives on dynamic water resources planning under uncertainty was recognized by the AGU publication team as among the journal’s top 10% most downloaded articles in 2020!
The article, published in January of 2020, frames climate change adaptation for water resources planning as an optimal control problem and reviews and classifies recent dynamic planning studies according to their approaches to uncertainty characterization, policy structure, and solution methods. The article proposes a set of research gaps and opportunities centered on the challenge of characterizing uncertainty and discusses opportunities to improve the use of control methods to support climate adaption.
