Mark Moritz (Ohio State U) received nearly $1.5 million NSF Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems (CNH) Program grant for an interdisciplinary research project that will focus on the impact of human activities and climate change on African floodplains. African floodplains are an excellent example of coupled human-natural systems because they exhibit strong interactions among multiple social, ecological, and hydrological systems. The project will contribute to the sustainable management of African floodplains, which are of enormous ecological and economic importance, by developing an integrated computer model that will permit stakeholders to evaluate the impact of different human activities and climate change scenarios.
