$4.3 million NSF grant supports novel research on landscape vulnerability assessment
Posted
The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently awarded a $4.3 million Water Sustainability and Climate (WSC) grant to a group of investigators, with the University of Minnesota as the lead institution, to develop a framework for sustainability studies by identifying and/or predicting processes, locations and times that are most susceptible to climate and human-induced changes. The goal of the NSF funding is to develop a better understanding of the interactions between water and land-use systems and specifically to develop a means to predict their response to changes in climate and human land and water management.
