Kash Barker, Ph.D. and Andrés González, Ph.D., faculty members in the OU School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, along with collaborator Chie Noyori-Corbett, Ph.D. in the Zarrow School of Social Work, were awarded a $25,513 seed grant from the OU Institute for Community and Society Transformation (ICAST) and the Data Institute for Societal Challenges (DISC). One of seven such funded projects, their one-year project is entitled “Temporal Networks of Environmental Refugee Resettlement.” This project will develop a novel temporal network optimization model that reflects the optimal flow of refugees from origin to host locations, and expand such a baseline model with parameters and constraints reflective of the social science-driven characteristics of equitable decision-making, location integration and dynamics, and different decision-making perspectives to equip local communities to prepare for a larger global scale human migration due to climate change.
