As the drought in Nevada continues, and with a gloomy outlook for w88 live casino supplies in the future, a newly funded National Science Foundation project based at the University of Nevada, Reno will bring together key players from around the state to address w88 live casino issues.
"The project, Nevada w88 live casino, will develop a collaborative and inclusive partnership of w88 live casino suppliers, users, policy-makers, and academics whose primary goal is to create a dynamic research, societal and education network focusing on critical urban-rural w88 live casino issues across Nevada," Anne Nolin, geography professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, said. Nolin, also director of the Graduate Program of Hydrological Sciences at the University, is leading the project, which has received a 9,923 NSF grant.
Across Nevada, w88 live casino users, suppliers, and policymakers are facing growing stressors including declining snowpacks, extreme weather, rapid population growth and increasing urban-rural tensions around w88 live casino sustainability. The network she and her team are building will include key public, private, tribal, research, nonprofit and educational w88 live casino resource partners.
"Our guiding principle is Science With Society, which emphasizes inclusion, communication, connections, and collaboration," she said. "The project stems from our response to an NSF call for network development around Sustainable Regional Systems, specifically focusing on urban-rural challenges.
"Nevada’s w88 live casino issues are unusual in that our w88 live casino supplies come from groundwater and mountains, both of which are being impacted by climate change and urban growth. We saw the need to develop a robust and inclusive w88 live casino-focused network of key stakeholders across Nevada and our university and non-academic partners are well-positioned to co-lead this effort."
This is a one-year planning grant during which the structure and goals for the Nevada w88 live casino network will be created. The next step is to apply for a five-year, million Track 1 grant through the NSF Sustainable Regional Systems Research Network program.
"Importantly, our network will not develop policy," she said. "Rather, it is intended as a learning network where we co-identify diverse challenges, fill knowledge gaps, understand the social and hydrologic dimensions of w88 live casino issues, and co-develop strategies for addressing seemingly intractable w88 live casino issues."
The Nevada w88 live casino team includes Stephanie McAfee, associate professor in the University's Department of Geography and the Nevada State Climatologist; Eric Marchand, associate professor in the University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and co-director of the Nevada w88 live casino Innovation Institute; Sean McKenna, executive director of the Division of Hydrologic Sciences at the Desert Research Institute; and Jennifer Edmonds, associate professor and director of the Environmental and Resource Science Program at Nevada State College.
In this one-year project, the Nevada w88 live casino partners will work together to
- identify crucial urban-rural w88 live casino sustainability issues;
- discuss and frame different ways of thinking about w88 live casino sustainability solutions;
- identify information, knowledge, and resource gaps need to be filled;
- develop shared visions for desirable, equitable, and sustainable w88 live casino futures and
- determine would be the best network structure to address Nevada’s urban-rural w88 live casino sustainability challenges.
"To achieve these goals, we will form regional and thematically-based groups of partners who will prepare the nascent network for a two-day conference focused on characterizing information gaps, co-identifying w88 live casino priorities, and network development," Nolin said. "Together, Nevada w88 live casino will foster new knowledge and collaboration strategies to significantly advance integration, coordination, innovation and sustainable regional systems science."
