Access to Deep soil water - a critical tree trait for Drought stress release?

DeepDrought examines how deep root water uptake helps plants mitigate drought, especially as deep soil droughts increase with climate change. Using SVAT models, the project analyzes deep soil water availability and aligns TWD and WUE as drought stress measures to assess plant responses.

Glacier Lakes in Antarctica: Drainage, Dynamics, Evolution and Refilling

A project to understand and model the processes of subglacial lake drainage and filling cycles in Antarctica.

Assessing soil carbon dynamics in landscapes of complex topography

How does soil carbon redistribute across diverse mountain landscapes? SOCscape combine field data, soil analysis, and modeling to uncover the dynamics of carbon fluxes in these complex, geochemically varied environments.

The digital transformation of planning (DISCLOSE)

Spatial planning is currently experiencing significant changes driven by digitalisation. This transformation has the potential to influence the way we plan, and important values such as equality, social justice, transparency and efficiency.

Impact of newly discovered airborne snow metamorphism on optical grain size and isotopic composition of polar snow

A recently discovered process of airborne snow metamorphism (ASM) affects the storage of isotope climate signals in ice sheets and the energy and mass balance of polar regions.
