Project: Socio-economic vulnerability and integrated assessment Activity: Prairie water use: Cost assessment This information represents activities in the Earth Sciences Sector Programs (2002-2006). Please refer to Priorities for information on current Earth Sciences Sector Programs. The research aims to quantify the potential impact of climate change on agricultural production in the prairie region, and to assess the range of adaptation extremes (no adaptation, perfect adaptation). Impacts on production will be quantified using crop- specific process models, selected climate change scenarios, and cost assumptions based on economic trends. In addition to the adaptation extremes, research will be conducted to assess the feasibility of estimating likely costs based on decision making strategies of various producer groups, captured through agent- based modeling.
