Academic Structure – Soil and Land-Use Management

The Soil and Land-Use Management Unit contributes to the mission of UNU-FLORES by promoting interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research that applies the Nexus Approach to soil and land-use management, thereby advancing an improved understanding of the Water-Soil-Waste Nexus. Acting on the assumption that a sound understanding of the interactions between atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and pedosphere allows the development and successful implementation of management options, the Unit researches site and region-specific management options for soil and land use.
