ExTrass - Urbane Resilienz gegenüber extremen Wetterereignissen (2018-2021, definition phase 2017-18 ) (BMBF)

ExTrass möchte, die Resilienz von Groß- und Mittelstädten gegenüber Hitze und Starkregen messbar zu stärken sowie Transferpotenziale zwischen Städten besser nutzbar zu machen. Dabei wird Resilienz als adaptiver (Lern-)Prozess verstanden, in dem Kommunen Maßnahmen aufgreifen und umsetzen, von denen ein schadensreduzierender Effekt bei Wetterextremen erwartet wird wie z.B. durch eine verbesserte Krisenkommunikation, oder eine vorausschauende, klimaangepasste Stadtentwicklung.

OPERAs - Operational Potential of Ecosystem Research Applications (2012-2017) (EU-FP7)

OPERAs investigates whether, how and under what conditions the ES/NC concepts can move beyond the academic domain towards practical implementation in support of sustainable ecosystem management. OPERAs investigates existing ES/NC practice to identify requirements for new policy options and instruments. It tests new insights and improved or novel tools and instruments, in hand-on exemplary case studies in a range of socio-ecological systems across locales, sectors, scales and time. Throughout this iterative process, it brings together available resources and tools the web-based OPPLA portal that is co-developed by scientists and practitioners.

CARBOExtreme: The Terrestrial Carbon Cycle under Climate Variability and Extremes (2009-2013) (EU-FP7)

Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases do not only lead to gradual ‘global warming’ but also to changed precipitation patterns, increased variability and weather extremes, such as heat waves, longer dry spells, variability of growing season length and heavy rainfall. CARBOExtreme investigates the effect of such climate extremes on European ecosystems by (1) bringing together and reanalyzing existing long-term carbon cycle related observations, (2) synthesizing and harmonizing new experimental approaches, (3) compiling and adapting latest regional climate scenarios, (4) using a strong model-data integration framework.
The project aims for an improved assessments of the European carbon cycle under future climate and advice to the European Commission and other stakeholders regarding climate, soil and ecosystem protection policies. The Consortium consists of 25 partners from 12 European countries. It is coordinated by the Max-Planck-Institute for Biogeochemistry Jena, Germany.

MOUNTLAND: Sustainable land-use in mountain regions: Integrative analysis of ecosystem dynamics under global change, socio-economic impacts and policy implications (2008-2012) (ETH-CCES)

Mountain ecosystems provide a large array of goods and services, which are highly sensitive to changes of climate and land use. The primary goal of the project MOUNTLAND is to contribute to the development of adapted land use practices for mountain regions that (i) warrant the life-supporting services required for sustainable development, and (ii) are economically and ecologically efficient, and socially and politically feasible. Existing “impact assessments” of global change on ecosystems and society have largely focused on the one-directional impacts from climate change to ecosystems and on to socio-economic and policy implications. The proposed study moves beyond this by (i) considering changes in both climate and land use simultaneously, and (ii) explicitly considering feedback effects from changing socio-economic and political conditions to land use and adaptation to climate change.

The project integrates research activities and research groups of various fields of ecosystem dynamics, economics and political science with complementary methodological. It is based on a sound landscape modeling framework, adapted in three Swiss case study regions and specifically complemented by experimental and observational studies on sensitive processes, thereby taking advantage of existing long-term data. MOUNTLAND will assess the ecological and socio-economic impacts of global change in the three study regions, develop strategies for adapted land use practices in mountain regions, and deliver recommendations for innovative policy solutions for promoting these.

Forest and wood utilisation in the Alpine region of Grisons, Switzerland: Economic impact and CO2 effects (2007-2008) (BAFU)

The Kyoto Protocol aims for a stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. Carbon storage through forest management can already be included in the calculations of involved countries, and it is discussed whether and how wood utilisation can also be accounted for in the following, post-Kyoto phase. This leads to new options in forest management and the utilisation of wood, particularly, if we assume financial compensation for storage and substitution effects through CO2 certificates.

In this case study from the region of Grisons, Switzerland, we focus on the CO2 effects of forest and wood utilisation, and estimate the economic effect including both the value chains and a hypothetical value for CO2 certificates. For that, we adapt models of material/wood fluxes, of substitution effects and an input-output table for the wood industry that have been used in two earlier, nationwide studies. In a first step, the recent situation is assessed to highlight how forest management and wood utilisation already now contribute to climate protection and what monetary difference it would make, if these effects would be remunerated through CO2 certificates.

Virtual Worlds - Real Decisions? NRP48 Synthesis V on Modelling and Visualisation (2006-2007) (SNF-NRP48)

Experimental approaches can help to increase our knowledge base in the field of spatial and landscape planning and to assist in decision-making. Simulation models represent virtual worlds where experiments can be conducted and the effect of alternative scenarios can be demonstrated. What are the tools needed in planning practice and for decision-making?

In order to show the potentials and limitations of model application in planning and decision-making we pursue the following approach: (1) We review the contributions of the NRP48 in the field of landscape modelling and assess their potential for application in planning and decision-making, (2) We document a modelling procedure by formulating use cases and applying an existing model to one of these use cases, and (3) Through stakeholder involvement we identify the expectations and thoughts on model applications in planning and decision-making.

future.scapes (2005-2008) (BMWF, proVISION)

Global change impacts society and landscape. Within the proVISION programme of the Austrian Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, the project focuses on scenarios of future transitions and strategies to increase resilience on the regional level. We contribute to one of the three case study which focuses on the Montafon region, an alpine tourist area.

In this case study, agent-based modelling is used to combine the processes of settlement extension, decrease in agricultural use, and climate change including possible consequences on (winter) tourism. The future scenarios are developed the result of a participatory process with local stakeholders. They are then simulated and the simulation results are given back to the stakeholder in a further workshop where strategies to reduce negative impact on the region are developed.

Regional CO2 budget for Davos (2005-2006) (KTI)

The principle processes to emit CO2 and options to improve the local CO2 balance were identified in this project. For that, CO2 emissions and sinks were first quantified and charged up against each other. Then measures to reduce emissions and to increase sinks were idenfified and their effect on the local balance was estimated. Finally, three scenarios were evaluated with respect to their feasibility.

ALPSCAPE(2002-2005) (SNF-NRP48)

The ALPSCAPE project investigated future scenarios by combing multi-disciplinary numerical modelling with a participatory processes. For that a Input-Output Table, a Material Flux Analysis, a spatially explicit Land Use Model and a Ecosystem Services Evaluation Approach were combined. The scenarios include 1) a decrease of mountain agriculture, 2) climate change with effects also on tourism industry and 3) the realisation of a mega-sports event. The ALPSCAPE project was supported by the NRP48.
