Groups & Programs

Several SNR faculty and collaborating faculty from other departments are also active in regional, national, and international projects in the field of human dimensions. For example, the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) and affiliated faculty are involved in numerous projects to assess the use and value of climate information in decision making and the development of improved decision support tools. In addition to the NDMC, the School of Natural Resources is also home to the High Plains Regional Climate Center, Great Plains Regional Center for Global Environmental Change, and the Center for Advanced Land Management Information Technologies. Other centers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln that offer opportunities for students in the field of human dimensions are the Water Center, Center for Great Plains Studies, Center for Applied Rural Innovation, and Public Policy Center. All of these centers create many regional, national, and international opportunities for research dealing with the human dimensions of natural resources.
