Research Team Participation

Major resource problems in the United States are multidimensional, involving human as well as biological and physical components. To adequately address these issues, interdisciplinary research that spans the social and natural sciences is increasingly needed. The Economics Work Unit is engaged in several interdisciplinary research team efforts.
