+  title: "Modeling soil evaporation efficiency in a range of soil and atmospheric\
+    \ conditions using a meta\u2010analysis approach"
+  abstract: 'Sustainable water use is a growing concern in Europe. Nowadays, agriculture
+    is an important pressure on water resources especially in Mediterranean countries
+    where irrigation can represent up to 80% of the consumptive uses of water. Increasing
+    water use efficiency in agriculture has been thus identified as one of the key
+    themes relating to water scarcity and drought (EEA Report No 1/2012). It now becomes
+    necessary to improve on-farm irrigation management by adjusting irrigation to
+    crop water requirements along the growing season.Modern irrigation agencies rely
+    on in situ root zone soil moisture measurements to detect the onset of crop water
+    stress and to trigger irrigation. However, in situ point measurements are generally
+    not available over extended areas and may not be representative at the field scale.
+    If remote sensing provides cost-effective techniques for monitoring broad areas,
+    there is currently no algorithm dedicated to root zone soil moisture monitoring
+    at the parcel scale.REC proposes a solution to the need of root-zone soil moisture
+    at the crop scale for irrigation management. It is based on an innovative operational
+    algorithm that will allow for the first time to; 1) to map root zone soil moisture
+    on a daily basis at the field scale and 2) to quantitatively evaluate the different
+    components of the water budget at the field scale from readily available remote
+    sensing data.The methodology relies on the coupling between a surface model representing
+    the water fluxes at the land surface atmosphere interface (infiltration, evaporation,
+    transpiration) and in the soil (drainage), and remote sensing data composed of
+    land surface temperature, and near-surface soil moisture retrieved from microwave
+    radiometers and radars.These estimates will be integrated in an irrigation management
+    system that will be used to trigger irrigation. In addition, these estimates will
+    allow making an impact assessment of the consumptive use of water and water footprint.

+    spatial patterns
+  abstract: 'Droughts cause agricultural loss, forest mortality and drinking water
+    scarcity. Their predicted increase in recurrence and intensity poses serious threats
+    to future global food security. Several historically unprecedented droughts have
+    already occurred over the last decade in Europe, Australia and the USA. The cost
+    of the ongoing Californian drought is estimated to be about US$3 billion. Still
+    today, the knowledge of how droughts start and evolve remains limited, and so
+    does the understanding of how climate change may affect them.Positive feedbacks
+    from land have been suggested as critical for the occurrence of recent droughts;
+    as rainfall deficits dry out soil and vegetation, the evaporation of land water
+    is reduced, then the local air becomes too dry to yield rainfall, which further
+    enhances drought conditions. Importantly, this is not just a ''local'' feedback,
+    as remote regions may rely on evaporated water transported by winds from the drought-affected
+    region. Following this rationale, droughts self-propagate and self-intensify.However,
+    a global capacity to observe these processes is lacking. Furthermore, climate
+    and forecast models are immature when it comes to representing the influences
+    of land on rainfall. Do climate models underestimate this land feedback? If so,
+    future drought aggravation will be greater than currently expected. At the moment,
+    this remains largely speculative, given the limited number of studies of these
+    processes.I propose to use novel in situ and satellite records of soil moisture,
+    evaporation and precipitation, in combination with new mechanistic models that
+    can map water vapour trajectories and explore multi-dimensional feedbacks. DRY-2-DRY
+    will not only advance our fundamental knowledge of the mechanisms triggering droughts,
+    it will also provide independent evidence of the extent to which managing land
+    cover can help ''dampen'' drought events, and enable progress towards more accurate
+    short-term and long-term drought forecasts.

+  title: "Investigation of rock fragmentation during rockfalls and rock avalanches\
+    \ via 3\u2010D discrete element analyses"
+  abstract: 'This proposal aims to provide a step change in terms of our capacity
+    to assess and predict risks due to geohazards (landslides and rock slides, earthquakes,
+    floods).  This is necessary in order to make built environments and infrastructures
+    resilient to the increasing threat of natural hazards due to the expanding size
+    of European cities and urban centres, increased use of infrastructure, and the
+    effect of increased climatic variations. To achieve this we will bring together
+    the complementary expertise of world leading academic groups in geotechnical,
+    geoenvironmental and seismic engineering, soil and rock mechanics, seismology,
+    hydrology, geology together with private engineering software companies.  The
+    goals of this proposal are; i) to investigate the key physical-mechanical aspects
+    of major geohazards (landslides, earthquakes, floods) with a multi-disciplinary
+    approach in order to bridge the current gaps in knowledge and enable a step-change
+    in the current capabilities of risk assessment, prevention, and mitigation; ii)
+    to generate new approaches to predicting geohazards by creating an international,
+    interdisciplinary and intersectoral group which will combine existing knowledge
+    to generate new research methodologies and applications by enabling knowledge
+    exchange among researchers with expertise in complementary research fields; iii)
+    to train several Early Stage Researches (ESRs) during their stay at the host Institution
+    who will form the next generation of researchers for academic and industrial applications;
+    iv) to improve the current normative standards and codes ruling geohazard prevention;
+    v) to provide a competitive edge to European engineering software companies modelling
+    geohazards.
