The event will be held at the Embassy Suites Hotel (1815 S. Meridian Ave.) in Oklahoma City. EPSCoR scientists and special guest speakers will address topics including integrative modeling of human-natural systems, observing social and ecological systems in a changing climate, and decision-support tools produced through the EPSCoR award. Students, post-docs, and faculty affiliated with the OK NSF EPSCoR project have the opportunity to register to present posters during the event. Undergraduate and graduate students can also register to participate in a poster competition that will be held during the conference. The OK NSF EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Award No. OIA-1301789 (2013-2018), "Adapting Socio-Ecological Systems to Increased Climate Variability," is a multi-institutional collaborative project that includes researchers from Oklahoma State University, Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, University of Oklahoma and University of Tulsa. Researchers from these institutions are working together to significantly advance the understanding of how socio-ecological systems can adapt sustainably to increased climate variability caused by a changing climate. Learn more about the research project.
