Welcome to ResAdapt Lab! This lab is committed to addressing a constellation of pressing concerns central to contemporary society. Our principal research areas are sustainable food systems, climate adaptation and resilience, and environmental sustainability. We are primarily interested in the sustainability of food production, where we endeavor to analyze the impacts of environmental change on local to regional food security and examine the determinants of and barriers in decision-making for food production. Simultaneously, we study multifaceted challenges of marginalization and inequality within climate adaptation, seeking to unveil the systemic disparities that exacerbate vulnerabilities in the face of climate change-induced hazards. Our mission extends to evaluating the efficacy of climate adaptation strategies, with a particular emphasis on coastal and urban resilience-vital frontiers in the context of climate-induced vulnerabilities. The intricate interplay between land use practices and the preservation of natural resources constitutes another sphere of our intense inquiry.
The intricate complexities of human-environment relationships require us to adopt versatile methodological approaches. Thus, in our research inquiries, we employ a fusion of statistical and/or machine learning modeling complemented by qualitative research methodologies as well as GIS and remote sensing techniques. Our main goal is to produce action-oriented research outputs that will catalyze meaningful changes on operational fronts while advancing academic boundaries.
