Research is currently being conducted on the integrated socio-economic and physical impacts of long-term global warming induced climate change on the infrastructure systems and services of the Boston Metro area (the CLIMB or Climate's Long-term Impacts on Metro Boston project). Summarized are: the study area; present sensitivity of the region's water resources to climate; the CLIMB modeling approach; the integration of water resources with other infrastructure sectors; and the role of stakeholders in the research.
