TERENO
TERENO is embarking on new paths with an interdisciplinary and long-term research programme involving six Helmholtz Association Centers. TERENO spans an Earth observation network across Germany that extends from the North German lowlands to the Bavarian Alps. This unique large-scale project aims to catalogue the longterm ecological, social and economic impact of global change at regional level. Scientists and researchers want to use their findings to show how humankind can best respond to these changes.
International Soil Modelling Consortium (ISMC)
The International Soil Modeling Consortium aims to integrate and advance soil systems modeling, data gathering, and observational capabilities, through:
- bringing together leading experts in modelling soil processes within all major soil disciplines
- addressing major scientific gaps in describing key processes and their long term impacts with respect to the different functions and ecosystem services provided by soil
- promoting integration of soil modelling expertise in neighboring disciplines (climate, land surface, eco, hydro, and other models)
- performing soil model intercomparison studies at local to global scales
- consolidating soil and other data platforms for modeling purposes
- integrating societal and environmental considerations into soil and ecosystem functioning
