The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $253,258 Project Grant by the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to investigate human-environment interactions in semi-arid landscapes. The project, titled "MCA: CONSILIENCE: ADVANCING FRONTIERS IN MODELING SOCIOECOLOGICAL MOSAICS FROM FIELD TO SATELLITE," will focus on understanding how local land management practices, resident experiences, and external factors impact landscape dynamics across scales. The research aims to inform land management strategies that can promote livelihood, food, environmental, and economic security in variable environmental conditions. This award reflects the NSF's mission to support basic research that advances scientific knowledge and has broader societal impacts.
