  • Cambodian Excavation Project
    Research
    The excavation project takes place at the World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. It focuses on understanding the features, when, how, and why these were modified, who modified them, and how long they were used. It also includes data processing and preparation of a preliminary report for APSARA.

  • Mekong Island Population Laboratory (MIPopLab)
    Research
    The Mekong Island Population Laboratory (MIPopLab) conducted 13 rounds of data collection between 2000 and 2006. MIPopLab combined a demographic surveillance system in one rural area of Cambodia with roughly 10,000 inhabitants and a "rider survey" designed to assess the role of the late-1970s mortality crisis in subsequent fertility changes.

Defining Terms


Projects/Programs

  • The projects and programs on this map constitute our “global data.” We define global data to be information related to “global topics” such as events, activities, and geographical areas outside of the United States. Any project or program conducted in an area outside of the United States is included on the map, as it speaks to UCLA’s direct engagement with the global community. Even if a project or program is conducted domestically, it is included as long as it engages with one or more global topics.

  • To collect data for the Projects/Programs map, we survey faculty on their research pursuits. We also explore UCLA websites such as faculty profiles, research centers, and department pages to learn about past and ongoing projects. We periodically review our data, archiving and removing projects and programs that have concluded or expired.
