Stockholm University/Dept. of Physical Geography and Quarternary Geology

Within the land and water resources research profile we investigate natural and anthropogenic changes in space and time of land, soil and water resources, and contribute thereby to the knowledge of environmental and societal development possibilities and risks associated with the use of land and water.
We also study the effects of different strategies for handling risks, and relate research results to environmental monitoring and legislation, and to management of land, soil and water resources for sustainable development.

The research addresses:
* Land and water resources in different physical, biogeochemical, ecological and cultural environments.
* The processes that determine the characteristics, dynamics and quality variations of soil and water in space and time.
* The interactions between freshwater, soils, land use, climate, coastal and marine waters, glaciers and ice caps, ecosystems, and the socio-economic and engineered systems that meet various human needs.
