Climate & Energy VIVES
The Climate & Energy research group aims to combat climate change and transition to a sustainable future. Our primary focus areas include climate adaptation, circular economy principles, hydrogen technologies, and the transformation of the transport sector. We are committed to finding innovative solutions that enhance climate resilience, reduce waste, and harness the power of hydrogen as a clean energy source. Our research investigates the ...
Environment and Climate Research Institute for Nature and Forest
Environmental pressures such as eutrophication, groundwater depletion, pollution and climate change lie behind the reduction and homogenisation of biodiversity. Sustainable conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity generally requires a reduction of environmental impact and restoration of the natural environment. The Environment & Climate research group studies the interaction between environmental characteristics and biodiversity in ...

Plant and Ecosystems (PLECO) - Ecology in a time of change University of Antwerp
Responsible
The research group of Plant and Vegetation Ecology (PLECO) has an extensive and long-standing experience with the study of a wide range of subdisciplines in the domain of ecology, in particular the ecology of plants and vegetations. The continuum of different spatial scales is being bridged, ranging from the individual plant, over populations and plant communities (vegetations) to entire landscapes and regions. The present research (and ...

Physical Geography Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Responsible
The Research Unit of Physical Geography develops activities along two main fields:
1. Ice and Climate (contact P. Huybrechts)
2. Volcanology, geomorphology, and natural hazards (contact M. Kervyn)
Ice and Climate
The Ice and Climate research group focuses on the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets and their interaction with the climatic system. Emphasis is laid on the development and application of ...
Geobiology University of Antwerp
Responsible
The research group GEOBIOLOGY performs fundamental and applied research at the intersection between Geology and Biology. Our prime objective is to generate profound insights about the interactions between the biosphere on the one hand, and the geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere on the other hand. In doing so, we study investigate the biogeochemical cycling of carbon and other elements within the Earth System from nanometer to global length ...
