The project will create a statewide interdisciplinary program that will stimulate transformative research, education, and outreach on the effects of regional climate change on ecosystem services (especially water resources) and support use of this knowledge by policy makers and stakeholders. The project will provide the Nevada System of Higher Education, the State of Nevada, and the region with new interdisciplinary capability to detect, analyze, and model the effects of regional climate change on landscapes, ecosystems, and water resources and to communicate research results to decision makers and the public. To broaden and increase the impact of this project, Nevada has formed a tri-state collaboration with the EPSCoR states of New Mexico and Idaho, which also received NSF EPSCoR funding for climate change infrastructure.

Dr. Saito is the UNR representative of the Water Resources component of the project.
