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.
• DOWN2EARTH – Ileen Streefkerk
