CROSSDRO
Cross-sectoral impact assessment of droughts in complex European basins
Project objectives seek to advance scientific understanding and develop practical guidance through the engagement of key stakeholders throughout the work. Specifically, CROSSDRO will determine the interrelated impacts of droughts on forestry and land cover, water resources (over different sub-systems i.e. snow, streamflow, reservoir level and ground water), and different economic sectors that are highly vulnerable to water resources availability: e.g. agriculture, hydro-power and tourism.

About
The objectives will be reached by means of experimental studies, both in the field and the laboratory, remote sensing, historical series and modelling approaches that account for past droughts and future scenarios. The objectives will be underpinned through the involvement of key stakeholders to learn about past drought challenges and problems on the stakeholders’ side and specifically address their information needs. Land and water managers, end-users and economic agents will be involved from the outset of the project. This will allow development of more efficient drought management models with potential to improve multi-sectoral adaptation to drought impacts.

Assessment of Cross(X) - sectoral climate Impacts and pathways for Sustainable transformation
The ERA-NET Consortium AXIS (Assessment of Cross(X) - sectoral climate Impacts and pathways for Sustainable transformation) aims to promote cross-boundary, cross-community research with the overall goal to improve coherence, integration and robustness of climate impact research and connect it to societal needs. To this effect, AXIS aims to overcome boundaries between science communities through inter- or transdisciplinary research projects.
