DESCRIPTION:Aaron Deslatte of Indiana University&nbsp\;will present at the 
 March Institutional Grammar Research Initiative (IGRI) research seminar.Ab
 stract:&nbsp\;Resilience and environmental governance scholars have long s
 tudied and debated the role of the state in driving or coordinating respon
 ses to the varied dimensions of adaptive governance. Some have advocated f
 or policymakers and managers to act more aggressively within the scope of 
 existing legal\, administrative or institutional constraints. This article
  offers an approach which considers the institutional designs of state-rei
 nforced information-processing “infrastructures” which enable or constrain
  the capacity of system managers to adapt to environmental change. For ins
 tance\, heavily engineered water systems depend on multiple types of infor
 mation to maintain ecosystem service robustness. Drawing on a novel compil
 ation of hydroclimatic data\, media content\, interviews\, planning docume
 nts and institutional designs\, we empirically examine a typology of multi
 -level institutional arrangements in four U.S. urban water systems\, each 
 featuring state-reinforced (enabling or constraining) information-processi
 ng capacities. Drawing from scholarship that considers the reflexivity of 
 legal avenues and system robustness\, we conclude that state-enabling “kno
 wledge infrastructure systems” have the potential to aid resource managers
  in better understanding and responding to climate stressors.
