Principal Investigator: Kathie Carpenter (International Studies)

Project Summary: The goal of this project is to identify and connect UO scholars who have a current or potential interest in the human dimensions of climate change in Southeast Asia. By facilitating several convening events (including seminars, working groups, etc.), the team will conceive and design integrative and collaborative research projects addressing this topic with an aim to connect scholars across divisions, such as natural scientists and social scientists, for projects that integrate the methods, questions, and distinct strengths of each. Southeast Asia is recognized as one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change and the works resulting from the proposed interdisciplinary collaborations will help develop mitigation approaches applicable to Southeast Asia and other parts of the world.
