The Helmholtz Association is providing long-term investment for the establishment of a new Research Group on Land Use Change at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology’s Campus Alpin (IMK-IFU) located in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (). This Group aims to advance knowledge of the causes and consequences of change in socio-ecological systems from local to global scales by: a) understanding the fundamental principles that underpin the interactions between people and their environment and encoding these […]

At the Helmholtz Centre of Environmental Research UFZ Leipzig, Germany, a new research project will be launched with funds from the German Research Foundation: SEEMI (Social-Ecological Effects of Microinsurance). It focuses on microinsurance, i.e. insurance products that are specifically targeted at low-income people in developing countries, and its potential adverse effects. Case studies include drought insurance in Kenya and Ethiopia and health insurance in Cambodia. The main research […]

Empirical PhD The empirical PhD candidate will focus on the use of the RoboFalcons for understanding predator-flock interactions. The RoboFalcons provide a unique opportunity to study predator-prey interactions in real time through a camera on the back of a RoboFalcon that films the prey. While investigating RoboFalcons during attack of bird flocks at airbases, the empirical- PhD candidate will: - analyze empirical data of collective escapes related to attacks by RoboFalcons on flocks at […]
