Use of a nonstationary copula to predict future bivariate low flow frequency in the Connecticut river basin (2016, methodology): “Our nonstationary modelling framework supports recent propositions (Milly et al., 2008) and provides water resource managers with nonstationary tools to implement policy and adaptation strategies.”
The End of Sustainability (2014, neutral): “, temperature, chemical activity) of rivers, even major rivers, are changing? We face a future that requires us to admit that we have no idea what we can sustain (Milly et al. 2008).”
Anticipatory Governance (2010, background): “…successful mitigation and adaptation (Camacho, 2009; Hallegatte, 2009; Patt, Klein, & de la Vega-Leinert, 2005; Popper et al., 2005), and the traditional paradigm of predict and plan will likely not be adequate to overcome these hurdles (Barben et al., 2007; Guston, 2007; Milly et al., 2008).”
Fuzzy probabilistic design of water distribution networks (2011, background): “The argument herein is that the degree of precision in the pure probabilistic approach is hard to justify; thus, expert knowledge has to be used to capture nonstationarity in water systems posed by a changing climate and growing population [ Milly et al., 2008 ].”
Global alteration of freshwaters: influences on human and environmental well-being (2011, background): “…likely to require management interventions from climate change (Palmer et al. 2008), with further complexities arising from projections suggesting that current water-management practices no longer will be appropriate for the more unpredictable flow regimes of a warmer world (Milly et al. 2008).”
