Welcome to the Applied Research in Social Dynamics (ARSD) Portal
This site contains background and project-specific information about initiatives originating out of the collaboration between the Ancient Desert Agriculture Systems Revived (ADASR) project and the Earth Data Analysis Center and the University of New Mexico.
The goal of the Applied Reasearch in Social Dynamics collaboration is to seek funding from a variety of public and private sector funding sources to undertake a growing range of research related to social dynamics, reviving ancient desert agricultural systems, the ebb and flow of cultures through prehistoric and historic times, conflict avoidance and resolution, and educational programs as they apply to the Levant and the American Southwest.
The collaborators in this program include the Ancient Desert Agriculture Systems Revived (ADASR) project and the Earth Data Analysis Center at the University of New Mexico. The areas of expertise represented by members of the collaboration team include:
