This course will introduce theory and methods for assessing and managing the risks posed by climate change for engineering design. The course content will cover quantitative analysis methods for developing climate scenarios, including stochastic simulation and hydrologic modeling and decision analysis methods for selecting among adaptation options under climate change uncertainty. While the content is fundamental in nature, the methods will be illustrated and implemented primarily for example water resources systems drawing from practice.
