Canziani, J.P Palutikof, P.J. van der Linden and C.E. Hanson, Eds.,
Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK, 976pp.
This volume represents the state of IPCC findings on climate
impacts as of 2007 and is quite comprehensive in its discussion
of cross-cutting and regional issues regarding climate impacts.
Adaptation strategy is less well covered. While one chapter
focuses on freshwater resources (updated below), many sections
are directly relevant to freshwater ecosystems and resource
management. This volume is far superior to the Summary for
Policymakers that is more generally referenced.

This document, published in mid 2008, is a significantly updated

chapter from Working Group 2.

current and projected climate change impacts.

A User's Manual for Building Resistance and Resilience to Climate

Buying Time was the first book-length treatment to move beyond
climate impacts to develop strategies for assessing vulnerability
and implementing a climate adaptation plan. It remains an
important core reading.

The Cooperative Program on Water and Climate has an excellent
set of water-related resources, including its own publications as
well as links to those produced by other organisations. The latter
section is annotated and updated regularly.
