Talk:River Delta Adaptive Management Strategy/4. Organizing Learning around Critical Dynamics

-- Phicks (talk) 15:33, 2 August 2013 (PDT)

1. The definition of the "Importance" criteria is unclear. How would two projects be compared against each other under this criteria?
2. Under the column title "High Uncertainty Topics for Adaptive Management" add the phrase (click on uncertainty for related postulates and studies).
3. Under delta sedimentation dynamics, an additional climate change impact that poses uncertainty for restorations is the increase in sediment loads in some systems and resulting affects to accretion/erosion rates and channel dynamics. In some river systems the increase in large fall rain events and the exposure of more glacial till from melting glaciers are predicted to significantly increase the sediment budgets for those systems. These changes in sedimentation rates and their effects on marsh dynamics (accretion and erosion rates as well as distributary network development)is unclear and a critical uncertainty.

particles of clay, silt, sand, gravel, or cobble, transported by water, are called sediment.
