Project description
EAGLES is aimed at understanding, monitoring and forecasting how the ecosystem of Lake Kivu responds to human-induced changes in order to predict the effects of ongoing and planned exploitation of its resources under different scenarios of climate change. We will combine data mining, remote sensing, moorings, field and laboratory experiments, numerical modeling and proxies in lake sediment cores.
