Towards a LGBTI-wise penology? Assessing the experiences, needs and human rights framework of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons in Belgian prisons. KU Leuven
LGBTI prisoners constitute a hidden and vulnerable group of prisoners with special needs. However, LGBTI prisoners’ specific experiences, needs and rights receive little attention, neither in research nor in policy. The goal of this project is to assess the experiences and needs of LGBTI prisoners in Belgium and research the application of human rights on LGBTI persons in prisons. This study will be the first to specifically research LGBTI ...
Merging satellite-derived and ground-based observations of spring phenology to select the best fitting and most parsimonious vegetation phenology model for global carbon cycle models. University of Antwerp
Multi-temporal, multi-source and multi-scale remote sensing for the monitoring of Conference pear tree phenology KU Leuven
The general objective of the present research is to describe and monitor Conference pear tree phenology, by means of air- and spaceborne multispectral and hyperspectral imagery. Specific focus will be on a multi-temporal approach. The influence of pedo-climatic and agronomic factors on phenology variability will be investigated. To achieve this objective, the following steps have been set: 1. Characterizing Conference pear tree phenology by ...
Phenology responses to climate change in the understorey of temperate forests - Implications for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning Ghent University
Climate change is giving rise to redistribution and local extinction of species all around the world and is, due to ongoing warming, expected to become an important driver of biodiversity loss. As a response to climate change, many species are altering the timing of their life cycle events, such as the timing of leaf emergence or flowering, in an attempt to cope with their changing environment. Many of such ‘phenology’ changes have been ...
