This page lists some of the blog entries that seem to generate consistent interest or controversy but that have entered the archives and may be hard lost to posterity otherwise. I’ll keep the list as short as possible. If you see an entry worthy of including here, please let me know.

Most entries fall into one of two groups: travel-related stories or incidents, and reflections on the state of conservation, freshwater management, and/or climate adaptation work today.

Reflections on Climate Adaptation

Nine Challenges to Freshwater Management from Climate Change. The result of many discussions with colleagues.

Is E.O. Wilson Wrong? A response to an interview with Edward Wilson of Harvard about how conservation should proceed in light of climate change.

Two Easy Pieces. A couple of brief, policy-oriented overviews on freshwater climate adaptation. The former is by myself and a British colleague, and the latter is by Jamie Pittock, an Australian colleague. Revised March 2009.

Islands on the Edge. A short overview of some of the climate-related challenges that the Sundarbans of Bangladesh and India face. Updated April 2009 in a subsequent entry on disaster risk reduction. A May 2009 piece discusses the effects of tropical storm Alia.


Travel Stories

My Big Night Out and Up. From May 2008, a story about a strange evening in New Delhi that became an even stranger experience at the airport.
