Socio-ecological Systems
Understanding Socio-ecological system Dynamics
We analyze the interactions between natural ecosystems and human activities, focusing on the microeconomic and macroeconomic impacts on agricultural practices and how these behaviors affect water resources and biodiversity.
Uncertainty
Bracing for an uncertain future
We investigate the uncertainties in climate change projections and socio-ecological modelization, aiming to improve decision support systems for water management in agriculture.
Stakeholder Engagement
Building a Collaborative Pathway
We develop processes to attract and engage local stakeholders in the co-design of transformative policies, enabling joint adaptation to future climate challenges through harmonious and collaborative pathways.
