Episode Synopsis

In this week’s episode, I host Catherine Knox, PhD candidate at Tufts University, to discuss water diplomacy and decision-making! We talk about different ways to think about water management, especially when it stretches across multiple boundaries. Catherine goes on to discuss her work on sea-level rise adaptation in Boston and also how decisions can be made under both uncertainty and ambiguity.For example, me saying “I have no idea what to write next in this description” is uncertainty. Saying “this description is funny” is ambiguous.
