The Impacts of Extreme Weather Events in the Mississippi River Basin: Enhancing Agriculture Modeling

Project Aims:

To understand U.S. local and countrywide impacts from extreme weather events in the Mississippi River Basin. 

We are particularly interested in the economic and environmental effects from these events and will estimate them using the Multi-System Dynamics (MSD) approach of interconnected physical and socioeconomic systems.

The overall focus of this project is on agriculture, land use modeling, water modeling, transport infrastructure, and scenario discovery.
