This is a collaborative space for the 2020 IRES El Salvador Summer Institute participants.

Michigan Technological University (MTU), the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI), and Lutheran World Relief (LWR) received support from the National Science Foundation - International Research Experience for Students program to explore agricultural community adaptations to extreme hydrometeorological events in El Salvador. The main program activity of this project is an eight-week International Research Experience in agricultural communities of El Salvador. The Summer 2020 (Year 1) cohort of student participants will focus on understanding issues of water availability, gender and power relationships, root causes of vulnerability within communities, and the installation of hydrometeorological monitoring equipment.
