Prof. Ingra m describes the tumultuous climate of the American West where extended drou ghts and catastrophic floods have occurred with regularity over the past tw o millennia. Looking at the region’s current water crisis from the pe rspective of its climate history, she asks the central question of what is a “normal” climate for the West, and whether the relatively ben ign climate of the past century will continue into the future. The impact o f future climate change on water resources predicts a future in which fresh water may be less reliable. This will have a major impact on the flora and fauna (including humans) of our region.
