Hybrid 'Managed Aquifer Recharge' as an adaptation tool to ensure a resilient and healthy groundwater source KU Leuven
Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) refers to the purposeful recharge of water to aquifers for subsequent recovery, to increase groundwater availability and improve water quality while preventing resource deterioration. During MAR, water is infiltrated through soil and aquifer sediments, improving water quality. Although MAR is an established technology, the underlying microbial, geo-chemical, and hydrological processes during subsurface passage ...
Understanding and governing groundwater to reduce risk of hydrological extremes Vrije Universiteit Brussel
with the aim to reduce the risk of hydrological extremes. We will investigate groundwater processes
with a focus on drought development and recovery (including the effect of wet extremes before or
after the drought) and the potential for improved groundwater management as a powerful
adaptation strategy to both droughts and ...

Sabbatical Hideaki Mizuno: Serial femtosecond crystallography to reveal structural dynamics of proteins KU Leuven
The aim of the sabbatical is to master the cutting-edge technology of time resolved X-ray crystallography (TR-SFX) with X-ray free electron laser (XFEL). XFEL is the next generation X-ray technology that generates extremely short (10 fs), strong, and coherent pulses. Thanks to these properties, XFEL is a breakthrough in structural biology, especially exploring structural dynamics of proteins in fs to ps time resolution. TR-SFX requires ...
Sabbatical Dirk Nuyens: Discovering future goals of lattice based cubature. KU Leuven
The aim of the sabbatical is to make large progress on a joint project and to start defining future goals based on early results from the scope of the project. The project is developing new theory and analyzes new algorithms for calculating expected values, and otheer miments of quantities of interest, obtained form complicated mathematical models.
Spin-Photon Interface for Quantum Networks Hasselt University
FWO sabbatical bench fee professor Ruyssen Ghent University
This project investigates the role of access to irrigation as a mitigating factor for migration aspirations following drought. Climate change, marked by increased precipitation variability and severe droughts, adversely impacts agricultural yields, affecting the livelihoods of 700-800 million impoverished individuals reliant on agriculture globally. Migration is viewed as an adaptation strategy, but its large-scale occurrence poses ...
