VT EPSCoR SBOR Phase (0) awardee Robert Andosca and MicroGen Systems

As Vermont's climate becomes warmer, wetter and more volatile, the need for research-based predictive tools to inform policy and land-use decisions in the state has never been greater. A $20 million grant from the National Science Foundation is helping Vermont develop just this innovative decision-making capability, placing it at the forefront of states focused on creating informed public policy in a changing world.

When Professor Taylor Ricketts talks about making advancements in global conservation efforts, he isn't so much worried about fuzzy little creatures necessarily, unless they're native bees. Ricketts is interested in "ecosystem services" — the economic benefits nature provides — and in calculating their value in terms of finances, but also in their financial, cultural, and health-related value.
