Dissertation Title: Adapting to Uncertainties: Assessing the Impacts of Dams, Climate Change, and Resource Shifts on Farming Livelihoods in the Lower Mekong Region

Snehalata Sainjoo is an ESPP dual major doctoral student, a PhD candidate in Fisheries and Wildlife. In her early engagement as an Environmentalist, Snehalata Sainjoo came across the degrading environmental situation across parts of the country, impacting local livelihood and adding constraints to basic life amenities. It was the same period when worldwide concern about environmental issues escalated and her fascination towards it grew stronger, later she adopted it as her career pathway. With an academic background of a Master’s degree in Environmental Science and six years of working experiences at the community and national levels in diverse subject matters, particularly related to climate change, food security and livelihood, now she drives herself in the Ph.D. program at the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, MSU. She will be joining Dr. Kramer and other team members in the NASA-funded project on the socio-ecological impacts of climate change and dam construction in the Lower Mekong River Basin.
