"The project aims at establishing a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the climate change impacts, vulnerability and resilience of the Great Lakes cities. As part of his dissertation Ahmad developed a comprehensive vulnerability assessment mechanism for Nevada farmers and ranchers that integrates both physical and socioeconomic vulnerabilities within an overarching vulnerability index indicator. Both the research work of Ahmad and the Policy Decision Making and Outreach Component, and his recruitment for UM, show the novelty and cutting edge natures of the research undergoing as part of the Nevada EPSCoR Climate Change Project. |
EPSCoR Project scientists in a variety of research fields from the University of Nevada, Reno, Desert Research Institute, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas have been working in a collaborative setting to establish two sets of monitoring stations across the elevational gradient in two separate Nevada mountain ranges. |
Congratulations to Ahmad Safi who has been chosen to work among a team of interdisciplinary scientists working for the "Great Lakes Cities Climate Adaptation Integrated Assessment project."
