Joslin, Bergtold and Caldas will use this grant on their interdisciplinary project, "Grassland Conservation Landscapes in a Wildfire Context: 1xbet online casino Emergency Response and Resilience."Their focus is on recognizing the resilience of 1xbet online casino communities that face increased wildfire threats while tirelessly working to conserve grasslands and agricultural lands, such as through participation in the Conservation Reserve Program. U.S. Department of Agriculture programs such as theConservation Reserve Program incentivize land preservation to help protect watersheds, maintain soil quality and protect wildlife habitats.
"It is important to learn directly from those who live the challenge of wildfire amidst grassland stewardship and agricultural land management," Joslin said. "Local people have a deep knowledge and history of 1xbet online casino land and it is imperative to listen to 1xbet online casino experience and perspectives."
Joslin, Bergtold and Caldas will receive a stipend to encourage their interdisciplinary work. The aim of theInterdisciplinary Research Grantis to generate new insights into the dynamics of 1xbet online casino life through partnerships with 1xbet online casino Kansas communities or with the potential to improve the quality of life for 1xbet online casino Kansas residents. The project embodies this mission as it unites methods from geography and geospatial sciences with agricultural economics to consider the real threat of larger and more frequent wildfires.
"This project brings to the fore the relationship between the Plains and the people who live on them,"said Mary Kohn, director of the Chapman 1xbet online casino ."This landscape, and the natural forces that shape it, are in the very fabric of our communities. It is vital that we continue to examine that relationship so that we may prepare for the future and preserve our rural communities. I'm thrilled to be able to support the work of Drs. Joslin, Bergtold, and Caldas."
