Assessing Climate Change Impacts on China’s Agro-Ecosystem
Researchers are creating a multi-scale agro-ecosystem model by combining two leading crop models, allowing for an analysis of both farm-level and regional agricultural dynamics that will assist in developing strategies to climate change-induced changes to China’s agriculture. More
Climate change adaptation of food and water systems
Major project in the Food and Water area. What are the spatial and temporal characteristics of adaptation requirements of current land uses (crops, livestock, forestry, nature protection)? More
Energy Use Impacts on the Environment (EnerGEO)
EnerGEO assesses the current and future impact of energy use on the environment by linking environmental observation systems with the processes involved in exploiting energy resources. More
Integrated Analysis and Modeling of Land Use Efficiency and Security under Rapid Agricultural Transformation in China
The project aims at developing an integrated methodology for investigating the interplay between urban development and ecological stress in rural areas. More
Life Cycle Impacts of Goods, Services, Activities (LC-IMPACT)
The LC-IMPACT project is developing methods to assess the environmental life cycle impact of a vast number of goods, services and activities. The assessments examine the environmental costs of such things as erosion caused by land use and threats from toxic substances used in production processes. More
Impact of Technological Change in Europe (PROSUITE)
PROSUITE is a collaboration to develop the tools needed to predict the impact technological changes will have on Europe’s environment, economies, and social institutions over the next several decades. More
