The NSF Where We Live (https://wherewelive.org) project met for our 3rd annual meeting in Elko, Nevada. Where We Live is an interdisciplinary and multi-state collaboration intended to change the way we adapt to increasing drought, heat, and wildfire. This 4-year project, funded by the National Science Foundation, addresses local adaptation, particularly in rural communities at higher risk from the effects of drought, heat, and wildfire. Using analytical social science and other computational tools, this project aims to advance our understanding of the factors that can contribute to local adaptation, with the goal of discovering how adaptation actions can enhance community-scale responses.
