GeoGator Doctoral students Carly Muir and Audrey Smith recently participated in a 3 day research meeting at the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) in Annapolis, MD. This is a collaborative project to examine linkages between water scarcity induced conflict and land use/land cover change in Africa. The project was proposed by faculty at Michigan State University, including UF Geography alumna Dr. Erin Bunting.
