The University of South Carolina (USC) received a $891,642 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083). The objective of this 4-year project is to advance research, education, and partnerships to address climate change adaptation in underserved rural communities.
Through this Cooperative Agreement, USC will use participatory socio-environmental systems mapping, advanced computational modeling, and community engagement to project futures and identify adaptation pathways for rural communities experiencing drought, heat, and wildfires in Idaho, Nevada, and South Carolina. The project aims to quantify the gap between perceptions of climate change and measured changes, and to build capacity for adaptation planning and implementation in areas vital to national sustainability, security, and prosperity.
