Our research on drought and multi-hazard interactions in the Anthropocene can be subdivided in three themes: interactions, impacts & risk, and adaptation & management. We also use a variety of methods. <these pages are under development>

Key projects, papers & people of different topics within this theme Drought propagation Van Loon (2015) – Hydrological drought explained – WIREs Water Van Loon & Van Lanen (2012) – A process-based typology of hydrological drought – Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Compound events In the RECEIPT project, Raed Hamed investigates storylines of climate-driven soybean…
Drought & multi-hazard impacts & risk
Key projects, papers & people of different topics within this theme Drought risk In the project Drought risk profiles for Africa , Marthe Wens created national drought disaster risk profiles for 18 SSA countries by evaluating drought hazard, exposure, and hydropower and agricultural losses. The project also consisted of a capacity building aspect involving multiple workshops for…
Drought & multi-hazard adaptation & management
Key projects, papers & people of different topics within this theme Drought adaptation modelling In the project Adaptation behaviour to droughts in Kenya, Marthe Wens investigated small-scale farmers’ adaptive behaviour in the face of droughts and the two-way interaction between adaptation decisions and drought risk, though multi-method data collection and agent-based modelling techniques.

Previous research topics
Research is like language. It develops and grows and sometimes old words (topics) become disused. As a dictionary we here archive these previous research topics.
