Department of Water and Climate Vrije Universiteit Brussel
HYDR is currently developing research activities in the fields of: 1. Water resources management: - Assessment of water resources at the river basin scale through water balance models. 2. Surface water hydraulics and hydrology: - Process study for both quantity and quality aspects; - Rainfall-runoff modelling; - Stochastic rainfall and runoff models. 3. Hydrodynamics and sediment transport: - Process study of current circulation, turbulence ...
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 ...

Van Molle) -Topic B : Global Change: environmental research, climatology and climatic change, climatic and glacier modelling -Topic C : Antarctic research, Antarctic climatology and geomorphology -Topic D : Cartography and geographic information systems, theory of map projections, mapping technique, geographic information systems, ...
Biobased sustainability engineering (SUSTAIN) University of Antwerp
Responsible
SUSTAIN focuses on biobased engineering for a more sustainable, resilient and healthy society. Technology- and nature-based solutions target local and global environmental challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, disturbed nitrogen and phosphorus cycles, air quality and livability. We develop microbial cleantech based on bacterial concepts for water treatment, nutrient management, food production and climate change mitigation. ...
