Short Description of Project
Dynamics of Integrated Socio-Environmental Systems (DISES) is a NSF funded initiative - The DISES Program supports research projects that advance basic scientific understanding of integrated socio-environmental systems and the complex interactions (dynamics, processes, and feedbacks) within and among the environmental (biological, physical and chemical) and human (“socio”) (economic, social, political, or behavioral) components of such a system. The program seeks proposals that emphasize the truly integrated nature of a socio-environmental system versus two discrete systems (a natural one and a human one) that are coupled. DISES projects must explore a connected and integrated socio-environmental system that includes explicit analysis of the processes and dynamics between the environmental and human components of the system
Thriving Future Cropscapes is a four-year project funded by the National Science Foundation that brings together stakeholders from many sectors, regions and disciplines to anticipate and prepare for the major changes likely to shape cropping systems in the southern and central US over the next five decades. The project focuses on Georgia, Nebraska and Ohio: three important and diverse farming states likely to face different social, economic and climatic challenges and opportunities over the coming century.
