Fluvial geomorphological dynamics and land use changes: impact on the organic carbon stocks of soil and sediment
(Bosque, 2019)
The drainage basin of the Turrilla river (SE of Spain) went through important land cover changes since 1950s; from mainly an agrarian scenario in 1956 to other depopulated and forested in 2015. This study analyzes the ...
Quantifying the services of natural and built infrastructure in the context of climate change: The case of the Tana River Basin, Kenya
(IWMI Research Report, 2019)
A study was conducted to explore the synergies and trade-offs between built and natural infrastructure in the Tana River Basin. A simple framework for better understanding the interactions and co-dependencies between ...
Regional climate change policies: An analysis of commitments, policy instruments and targets
(Economics and Policy of Energy and the Environment, 2019)
Regional governments represent an increasingly relevant component in climate change policies, which showcase a high interest in the climate change sphere and provide several benefits connected with their governance. This ...
How can we all help conserve nature?
(Frontiers for Young Minds, 2019)
When we speak about conserving nature, we are really talking about taking care of our future, because nature provides essential resources for our survival and enjoyment. We asked an international group of scientists working ...
Contribution of the land sector to a 1.5 °C world
(Nature Climate Change, 2019)
The Paris Agreement introduced an ambitious goal of limiting warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Here we combine a review of modelled pathways and literature on mitigation strategies, and develop a land-sector ...
Pronounced northward shift of the westerlies during MIS 17 leading to the strong 100-kyr ice age cycles
(Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2019)
The MIS 17 interglacial, ~715 675 ka, marks the end of the Mid-Pleistocene Transition as intensified, long and asymmetrical 100-kyr ice age cycles became eminently established. Increasing arrival of moisture to the Northern ...
