note = "Funding Information: The guest editors would like to acknowledge several sources of inspiration and support in the process of bringing together this special issue. Christiane Barranguet, of Elsevier, encouraged us to pursue this effort, through spirited conversations following science-policy talks that we presented at the 2009 meeting of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography. Editors Jim Briden and Martin Beniston have carried the torch lit by Ms. Barranguet's initial spark of enthusiasm. Further impetus was given by the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI); through IAI's Collaborative Research Network program, and its forward-thinking director, Holm Tiessen, we homed in on assessment projects in the Americas, and were able to connect with many of the authors represented in this special issue. The guest editors acknowledge the further boost that we received through the 2010 American Geophysical Union's Meeting of the Americas, from which we were able to garner additional ideas and momentum. Finally, we thank the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Science Foundation for their strong support of the kinds of regional assessment studies highlighted herein. ",
