The UNM Resilience Institute is an academic and professional initiative responding to the aforementioned national needs. The collective group of academicians and professionals participating in this institute proposes a new, integrated research and educational approach to investigate resilience. We aim to promote interdisciplinary and broad professional training, education, and basic and applied scientific research to advance resilience as a basic national priority. UNM Resilience Institute will engage in investigations of understanding, piloting, testing, and designing resilient communities and infrastructure with a focus on the dynamics of the socio-ecological features of the arid environment in the US Southwest. Finally, we will collaborate with industry partners in New Mexico (Resilient Solutions 21) and the national labs (Sandia National Lab) who have vast experience in national and local resilience requirements.
Academic Partners
One of the unique opportunities that the proposed center can take advantage of is UNM’s proximity to and long-term collaboration with the two national laboratories. Both Sandia and Los Alamos have excellent experience in the field of resilience. We will plan an annual Resilience Colloquium at UNM in collaboration with the two national labs and other industry and academic partners.
