Project summary derived from the lab's published work — replace with the canonical project description and funding details.

This research couples agent-based models of farmer behavior with groundwater and crop systems to understand how individual irrigation and crop-choice decisions aggregate into system-scale outcomes — and how those behaviors shift over time.

It combines human and machine intelligence to derive agents' behavioral rules, and examines non-stationary irrigation behavior under changing conditions.
