Climate change is expected to exacerbate health disparities, particularly in vulnerable communities. How can we prevent or reduce these disparities? This question lies at the core of a Belmont Forum project recently co-funded by the Research Council of Norway (NFR).  Adopting a community-centered approach, the project develops and tests system dynamics models through case studies in the US, Ecuador, Turkey, and Vietnam. Saeed Langarudi (System Dynamics Group, Department of Geography) leads the systems modeling component and serves as a Co-PI on the project.

Every Wednesday, the faceulty of social sciences invites employees and students to interesting talks in the Social Sciences Building.  Academic Morning Coffee is an informal arena where on of the researchers at the faculty is invited to present their work in conversation with the dean and the audience.
