Researcher seeks answers to climate change issues in ancient irrigation system
Public Archaeology student Emily Hayes-Rich was standing at the base of a mountain in Santa Fe preparing for a hike recently when she found out she had been selected for a Fulbright Award to support her master’s research Old Answers to New Questions: Traditional Water Management as a Solution to Climate Change.
Hayes-Rich will spend the next academic year in Morocco studying the long-term history of the khettara irrigation networks and their resilience through time. She also received an AAUW-UNM Scholarship to further support her work, as well as an American Institute for Maghrib Studies grant.
