With politicians from all around the globe agreeing that sustainability and the environment are increasingly important issues to discuss, the United Nations has gathered insight and research from many experts worldwide, including SOU’s assistant professor of geography, Narcisa Pricope. Pricope worked with Professor David López-Carr at the University of California, Santa Barbara as a visiting scholar in order to contribute to the chapter entitled “Land,” which discusses the concern about drylands and the impact globalization and urbanization has on the land in the fifth volume of the UN’s extensive Environmental Outlook report. Her involvement places her among a select group of researchers consulted for their expertise in their respective fields. See the chapter here.
