Caucasus Regional Information Network (CaucRIN)

CaucRIN was established in 2017 in Tbilisi, Georgia.  The network is an outgrowth of roughly decade old research projects in the region.  The focus of the network is land use and land cover change and its consequences including, but not limited to agricultural abandonment, forest degradation, malaria transmission, agricultural productivity, biodiversity loss, transboundary waters, and carbon dynamics.  Funded by NASA and other agencies, research and training in the region has focused on international collaboration as well as data and information exchange.
