His presentation covered the initiative\u2019s background, various funded research projects, and their outputs. The diverse SARI projects include studies on forest degradation, agricultural transitions, food security, urbanization, and their environmental impacts. SARI has supported 35 research projects, engaging more than 400 scientists and over 200 institutions that result in significant scientific contributions, including nearly 450 publications, 16 special journal issues, and five books with two additional books pending publication. Vadrevu emphasized the importance of sustainable land use policies informed by LCLUC research and provided details on upcoming meetings. He concluded with information on three ongoing projects funded under the SARI synthesis solicitation \u2013 one in South Asia and two in Southeast Asia. Summaries of these projects are highlighted below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>David Skole<\/strong> [Michigan State University (MSU)] leads the SARI synthesis project that spans South Asian countries, with an emphasis on tree-based systems, particularly <a href=\"https:\/\/ntrs.nasa.gov\/citations\/20220000313\" rel=\"noopener\">Trees Outside Forests<\/a> (TOF). The primary objective is to synthesize existing research to better understand the patterns, drivers, and impacts of TOF on carbon emissions and removals and their role in supporting rural livelihoods. This research is crucial for informing climate change policy, particularly in the context of nature-based solutions and pathways to achieve net-zero emissions. The project combines empirical data with process-based research and policy models to support the development of sustainable landscapes. By integrating biophysical and socioeconomic data, the project team members aim to provide robust, evidence-based contributions to climate mitigation and adaptation strategies, ultimately guiding regional policy decisions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Son Nghiem<\/strong> [NASA\/Jet Propulsion Laboratory] discussed the interrelated dynamics of LCLUC and demographic changes in Southeast Asia under various developmental pressures and climate change. Nghiem explained that the study explores how these factors interact along the rural-to-urban continuum across regions in Cambodia, the\u00a0Lao People\u2019s Democratic Republic (Laos), Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and parts of Indonesia. In rapidly urbanizing and agriculturally transitioning areas, physical and human feedback processes are becoming non-stationary, leading to unpredictable impacts that challenge traditional policymaking. The study aims to capture both physical patterns (e.g., land-use) and human (socioeconomic) fabrics, integrating these within a framework to assess whether the statistical properties of the time series measured during this study remain constant or change with time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peilei Fan<\/strong> [Tufts University] presented the project, \u201cDecoding Land Transitions Across the Urban-Rural Continuums (URC): A Synthesis Study of Patterns, Drivers, and Socio-Environmental Impacts in Southeast Asia.\u201d The project aims to synthesize knowledge through an interdisciplinary approach. It focuses on URCs in 19 cities across eight Southeast Asian countries. It investigates how global urban hierarchies, URC connectivity, and local policies influence land-use change and related ecosystem impacts. By integrating remote-sensing data with climate and ecological models and socioeconomic analysis, the project seeks to advance theoretical understanding of land transitions and provide valuable insights for both scientific research and policymaking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Poster sessions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following the presentations, participants gave lightning talks linked to 17 posters, which highlighted recent results from ongoing LCLUC projects and LCLUC-related research from the <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/researchers\/solicitations\/roses-2022\/amendment-70-f5-finesst-graduate-student-research-proposals-final-text-and-proposal-due-date\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST)<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/science.jpl.nasa.gov\/projects\/ids\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Inter-Disciplinary Research in Earth Science<\/a> (IDS) programs.
