North Carolina is one of the most physio-geographically diverse states in the southern U.S, resulting in the majority of the state’s crop production the eastern Coastal Plains. We analyze the dynamics of cropland use intensity here, and are developing tools to improve the precision of environmental assessments of crop production in NC.
Dengue is estimated to infect 390 million individuals a year worldwide, with around 3.9 billion people at risk of infection. Currently, there are no licensed vaccinations or therapeutic treatments for the disease and control of the vector species through conventional methods has proven inefficient and costly.
