LECTURE: Humans + Resources = Problems

Historically, energy policy has been developed without considering the impact on water and climate policy may not consider the impact on energy. Solutions to these complex problems requires policy that considers tradeoffs between systems and is acceptable to society. EPSCoR Social and Natural Science Nexus component co-lead Dr. Janie Chermak will discuss her research on some of the interactions between systems and the impact of people’s taste and preferences with a focus on NM’s energy and water sectors, and how the state’s attitudes about energy development may impact policy.
