Despite its potential, research is often critiqued for being not as usable for decision making in practice. This guide provides tangible, tested ways for making science more usable based on our experience in the Western Water Assessment as well as other input. It also highlights examples of researchers at CU Boulder who have produced usable research to serve practical needs., written by Lisa Dilling [and 4 others], "February 2018.", Online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed May 2020)

A significant body of academic research indicates that climate change is having a profound effect on the hydrology of the Colorado River Basin and those water systems dependent upon the river. In this study, we trace how the subject of climate change is featured in media coverage of Colorado River Basin water issues, acknowledging the salient role of the media in shaping public understanding and sentiment., Includes bibliography page 9., Online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed May 2020)
