However, increasing population growth, changes in patterns of land tenure, industrialization, weak systems of governance, and global climate chnage have exacerbated previously localized environmental problems such as soil erosion, depletion of water catchments, loss of ...
European and South African HIV co-infection research consortium Institute of Tropical Medicine
The overall aim of the proposed staff exchange program is to establish a long lasting collaboration between South African and European research teams involved in HIV co-infection research. This effort ultimately should lead to new ways to improve the care/treatment for patients with HIV co-infections and to decrease the high mortality among persons with HIV infection in Africa.
South Africa is the country with the largest number ...

The interaction between climate and the African great lakes: A study with a regional climate model. KU Leuven
In this PhD project, use will be made of the regional climate model CCLM, in which only very recently, the freshwater lake parameterisation scheme FLake has been implemented. The research will be build around three main axes: (i) improvement of the treatment of turbulent exchanges and lake dynamics in FLake, (ii) climate simulations –and evaluation– for Central and Eastern Africa using CCLM driven by Global Climate Model (GCM) output, and ...
