People, Water, and Climate: Adaptation and resilience in agricultural watersheds
Research description
The aim of this research is to investigate how regional coupled natural and human systems respond to changes in climate, economic, and policy conditions that operate over larger geographic and temporal scales. Researchers will explore these concepts in an agriculturally based Midwestern watershed and within a framework of sustainability, resilience, and adaptability to better understand the tradeoffs future generations may have to make among multiple and sometimes competing social and environmental objectives.
