Project description

Tis research concerns the quantification of stream cours dynamics, changes in land use/cover and changes in livelihood variables at multiple spatial and temporal scales in an endorheic basin in Ethiopia. It will also provide a framework to study the interaction among climate change, stream dynamics and land use/vocer schanges, to investigate the controlling factors and to design appopriate measures.
