A -- GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE REGIONAL ASSESSMENT CENTERS A workshop on Climate Variability and Water Resource Management in the Southeastern U.S. was sponsored in June 1997 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), US Geological Survey (USGS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), as part of an assessment of the national-scale consequences of global climate change. The overall purpose of this workshop was to examine the impacts of climate variability and potential vulnerability to future climate change on various economic sections in the southeastern states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. There were 117 participants in attendance out of 436 organizations and individuals indicating an interest. Scientists and regional stakeholders evaluated agriculture, coastal and fisheries, extreme events, parks and public lands, science education, urban areas and human health, and water resources. Based on the findings of the workshop, the Marshall Space Flight Center intends to award grants/cooperative agreements for regional assessment centers based on proposals received from The University of Alabama in Huntsville, Florida State University, Vanderbilt University, Auburn University, and Georgia Tech.
