STrengthening And Redesigning European FLOOD risk practices Towards appropriate and resilient flood risk governance arrangements (STAR-FLOOD)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
Urban regions in the EU face increasing but uncertain flood risks due to urbanization and the effects of climate change. In European (a.o. the Flood Risk Directive) and in national and regional policies, attempts are made to diversify and align different Flood Risk Strategies (FRSs). In our proposal, five such strategies are distinguished: risk prevention; flood defense; mitigation; preparation; a ...

Tropical forests and climate change: understanding links to predict future responses (TROFOCLIM)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2015,
"Tropical forests cover just 7% of the Earth s surface, but store 25% of the global terrestrial carbon pool. Since they are so rich in carbon, net loss or uptake of carbon by tropical forests has important implications for atmospheric CO2 levels. Thus, tropical forests can speed up climate change by net emission of CO2 or slow it down by net sequestration. The rise in atmospheric CO2 level since t ...
