Biography
Dr. Gober was Co-Director of the National Science Foundation's Decision Center for a Desert City, which studies water management decisions in the face of growing climatic uncertainty in Greater Phoenix, from 2004-2012. She is currently a research professor in the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University as well as professor of Public Policy in the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Saskatchewan and affiliated faculty in the Global Institute for Water Security at the University of Saskatchewan. Her current activities center on climate adaptation and water resources management in the USA and Canada. She is especially interested in the use of science and visualization for real-world decision-making. Gober is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and was awarded the Prince Sultan Abdulaziz International Price for Water in 2008. She is currently co-chair of the USA’s National Climate Assessment Adaptation and Hazards Indicators Team.
