- PIA - what is this all about? - download a paper in Arctic where we explain the approach. "The PIA approach is an application of Post Normal Science (Funtowicz and Ravetz, 1993, 1994), which dictates that in problems characteristic of highly complex systems, when facts are uncertain, values in dispute, decision stakes high and decisions urgent, there is no one correct, value-neutral solution. Under such circumstances, standard Western scientific activities are inadequate and must be reinforced with local knowledge and iterative participatory interactions."
- The Kola Project - Application of Interactive Integrated Assessment and Modeling to Design Sustainable Development Strategies for Arctic Watersheds. A US-Russian research effort to increase understanding of the role of human dynamics on ecosystem functions and explore development strategies to enhance ecosystem health, ecological sustainability and economic diversity. The project focuses on the Imandra Lake watershed in the Kola Peninsula
- A web-based framework designed to assisst the Participatory Integrated Assessment process by structuring the various data sets and models into a series of nested clickable conceptual diagrams. (Work in progress)

- Redisigning the American Neighborhood - a broad effort to design and implement alternative cost-effective technologies for stormwater management.
- Background information and data that we are using within the context of a series of stakeholder workshops, which are supposed to produce a model of the watershed that can be further used for demonstrations and visulaizations during a series of design charettes.
- A place to support the stakeholder workshop process - (Under development)

- The Vietnam PIA - Improving Biodiversity Conservation in Threatened Landscapes of Central Vietnam. A project with the American Museum of Natural History to use a participatory watershed modeling approach to visualize the effects of changing population dynamics and landscape processes and identify areas of high conservation priority in the province of Quang Nam. (Under development)
