tailieunhanh - Global Change and Ecosystems

These research teams study for example the impact and mechanisms of greenhouse gas emissions and atmospheric pollutant on climate, ozone depletion and carbon sinks (oceans and inland waters, forests and soil). They do research to understand the mechanisms and assess the impact of global change on the water cycle, water quality and availability, as well as soil functions and quality to provide the bases for management tools for sustainable water systems. Biodiversity and ecosystems are analysed to understand and minimise the negative impacts of human activities. The mechanisms of desertification and natural hazards, such as earth quakes, tsunamis and volcanic activity, are being elucidated to improve risk assessment,. | EUROPEAN COMMISSION Community research Global Change and Ecosystems Catalogue of FP6 Projects SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GLOBAL CHANGE AND ECOSYSTEMS Interested in European research RTD info is our quarterly magazine keeping you in touch with main developments results programmes events etc. .
