We would like to introduce the partners involved in the LostToClimate Research Project. The 4th partner to be presented is Indiana University.
About Indiana University
Indiana University (IU) is a leading public research institution in the United States, renowned for its interdisciplinary approach to solving global challenges. IU is home to a vibrant academic community committed to advancing knowledge in environmental science, public health, and social resilience.
Introducing EDeN: The Environmental Demography Network (https://lnkd.in/dQKTwfuX)
At the heart of IU’s contribution to the LostToClimate project is the EDeN Research Group—a transdisciplinary network of scholars dedicated to understanding and addressing the complex interactions between human populations and their environments. Rather than a traditional research centre, EDeN is structured as a network, emphasising collaboration across disciplines and sectors, including local communities, policymakers, and international partners.
Role in LostToClimate
EDeN contributes to LostToClimate by: 1) Providing data-driven insights into climate migration and adaptation, collaborating on community-engaged research in vulnerable regions, 2) sharing expertise in spatial modelling and environmental demography, and 3) participating in international workshops and knowledge exchange. EDeN exemplifies the kind of integrated, socially grounded research needed to tackle climate challenges. Its commitment to equity, innovation, and collaboration makes it a vital partner in LostToClimate.
The IU team in LostToClimate consists of Guangqing Chi, who is the founding director of EDeN. He is Provost Professor of Geography at Indiana University. His research integrates social systems with built and natural environments, focusing on 1) Climate impacts on migration, health, and well-being, 2) Community resilience in Arctic and rural regions, and 3) Development of spatial regression models and big data infrastructure.
