 This May in Quixeramobim, Ceará, and as a part of her ongoing collaborative work with FUNCEME, Cydney Seigerman conducted fieldwork with PhD student Hela Guesmi and research fellow Mariana Macahdo Rios, supervised by Dr. Julien Burte (FUNCEME/CIRAD- UMR G-EAU, France). The fieldwork was part of an on-going multi-institution project to assess strategies for sustainable multi-use of small water resources in semi-arid areas. Over two days, the team used GIS methods to assess landscape features, conducted semi-structured interviews, held a focus group, and did participatory mapping with members of a rural community in the region. They also met with the directors of the regional headquarters of COGERH, the State Water Company of Ceará of Quixeramobim. ​

John McGreevy, HECL Lab PhD student, spent the summer researching non-governmental organization (NGO) influence on social life and ecosystem health in rural Haiti. McGreevy worked collaboratively with a team of 16 interdisciplinary graduate research assistants, 8 from the United States and 8 from Haiti. Dr. Mark Schuller from Northern Illinois University led this international team as part of a study supported by a National Science Foundation CAREER Grant. Findings from this team will be presented as part of a panel at the Haitian Studies Association conference in Cap Haitien, Haiti in November. The theme for the conference is “Haiti’s Eco-systems: Focus on Environmental Realities and Hopes.”
