Stakeholder-supported decision making for sustainable conjunctive management of soil and groundwater – INCLUSIVE
As groundwater extraction increases worldwide, generating a range of economic and ecological impacts, many countries are implementing regulation systems to restrict groundwater use. Their implementation often remains problematic as a result of low compliance in set rules. Key to low compliance is th
Abandonment and rebound: Societal views on landscape- and land-use change and their impacts on water and soils – ABRESO
This project addresses soil and water sustainability in landscapes undergoing transitions. Management and social-cultural changes create transitions, altering watershed properties (soil and water quality, and related ecosystem services) in a manner that stakeholders may not understand or appreciate.
Global change impact on vulnerable carbon reservoirs: carbon sequestration and emissions in soils and waters From the Arctic To the Equator – VULCAR-FATE
Previously pristine, the Western Central Africa and Western Siberian Lowlands are now increasingly impacted by accelerated global changes with the predictable degradation of soil and groundwater systems, which could lead to potentially huge emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) and to vast carbon (C)
Permafrost degradation impacts on soils, human societies, water resources and carbon cycle – PRISMARCTYC
Permafrost covers 20-25% of the Northern Hemisphere. Recent temperature increase in the Arctic and Subarctic is significantly higher than the global average. Climate simulations predict continuing warming and increased wildfires occurrence. This rapid change is already leading to permafrost degradat
Biosphere and Land Use Exchanges with Groundwater and soils in Earth system Models – BLUEGEM
The interactions between groundwater (GW) and soil moisture (SM) exert a key role to shape the critical zone (CZ), including soils, water resources, ecosystems, near-surface climate, and social systems. In this project, we focus on several interlinked CZ processes: SM increase by capillary rise from
