on adaptation ( Paavola and Adger 2006 ). These broad justice considerations are empirically based on the fact that adaptation to climate change consists of individual and group choices made in the context of present and predicted climate change impacts, societal concerns, and priorities and existing institutional decision-making structures and processes that bias particular distributions of resources, wealth, and power ( Paavola and Adger 2006 ). These choices and decisions are often

patient, they may not work to address their needs in a timely way. Conversely, people who become impatient may make decisions that negatively impact them further into the future. Altered patience may influence choices such as how and when to rebuild private homes and businesses as well as how to rebuild and invest in critical public infrastructure. For example, an impatient household may accept price gouging from contractors in exchange for rapid reconstruction, thereby affecting their future economic

drought and risk assessments by factoring in both science and societal impacts ( Kumar et al. 2014a ). Simulated data similar to SMAP products were used in agricultural models to show the usefulness of soil moisture for crop yield estimation at sites where the full time sequence of precipitation and other critical weather variables were not available or subject to measurements errors (El Sharif et al. 2014, manuscript submitted to J. Hydrometeor. ) and the increase in streamflow forecast skill

1. Introduction The impacts of climate change on human health are complex and widespread ( Crimmins et al. 2016 ). Direct effects include excess morbidity and mortality from extreme events, such as heat waves, storms, and wildfires as well as indirect impacts that are mediated through changes in environmental conditions, such as increasing pollen counts and shifting distribution of vectors ( Luber et al. 2014 ). These changes in climate may increase the incidence of certain respiratory diseases

and people affected suggests that swelling populations, development trends, and vulnerabilities are outpacing mitigation and adaptation, leading to greater disaster frequencies and amplified impacts. Through demographic and asset normalization methods, long-term, macroscale hazard impact assessments [cf. Table 1 in Bouwer (2011) and Table 3 in Barthel and Neumayer (2012) ] have suggested that societal change and economic development are the primary factors responsible for the increasing trend
