Climate Change Adaptation in Floodplain Wetlands: the Macquarie Marshes Author: NCCARFYear: 2012 This factsheet summarises key findings from a case study on limits to adaptation in the Macquarie Marshes. The Macquarie Marshes has experienced significant declines in biodiversity and populations due to regulation of water supplies, and hence is increasingly vulnerable to projected climate change… Read More
Climate Change Adaptation in the Australian Alps, 2pp, factsheet. Author: NCCARFYear: 2012 This factsheet summarises key findings from a case study on limits to adaptation in the Australian Alps.

Climate change adaptation in the Australian Alps: Impacts, strategies, limits and management Authors: C. Morrison and Catherine PickeringYear: 2011 A stong awareness of climatechange occurring and identifying its impacts exists among stakeholders within the Australian Alps due, primarily to the fairly direct links between increasing temperatures and decreasing precipitaiton and natural snow cover. Data also… Read More
