Research project Water use, water quality/quantity and biodiversity across landscapes:
Synergies and trade-offs in an era of climate change and modernization.
This is an interdisciplinary project with components of hydrology, human geography, development science and ecology. We will compare watersheds with different composition of forests, coffee agroforests, grazing land and annual crop fields. In each watershed we will look at how people use their water, measure stream flow and water quality as well as biodiversity associated with the water courses.
