Publications
University of Arizona faculty members and departments affiliated with ISPE annually produce meeting, conference, and workshop proceedings; reports; newsletters; and public outreach information. ISPE compiles a list of these publications, organized by type and date.
Reports
ISPE and the Climate Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS) project, which is housed at ISPE, have produced or co-produced a number of reports that focus on climate, the environment, and society in the Southwest. The information presented in the reports ranges from the potential consequences of climate change in the Southwest to fire management on tribal lands.
Preparing for a Changing Climate
An assessment of the potential consequences of climate change and variability for key sectors in the Southwest, including ranching, water resources, mining, urban areas, natural ecosystems, energy, and human health. Information on the effects of climate change on these sectors can provide a more informed basis for decision-making in the future.

CLIMAS Reports
Reports from the Climate Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS) project cover a number of topics of interest to stakeholders, including drought, water, ranching, farming, and forecasting.
Workshop Proceedings
A proceedings is a valuable written document that comprehensively records the themes, topics, ideas, discussions, and strategies voiced and covered during a conference or workshop. ISPE has hosted or co-hosted a number of events that have generated proceedings related to fire social science, sustainability in arid and semi-arid ecosystems, and a host of other topics related to environment, society, and climate.
SUUASE Workshop Proceedings
This is the final report of the Sustainability Under Uncertainty in Arid and Semiarid Ecosystems workshops. The workshops were held in January and May 2005 to explore the possibility of building an integrated, collaborative, interdisciplinary program at The University of Arizona that specifically focuses on the sustainability of ecosystems in the arid and semiarid borderlands.
