Luísa’s research focuses on both public international legal regulation and private pathways to find a solution for the huge and ever increasing global problem of plastic pollution of the oceans. Research is necessary in several fields to find joint solutions. Luísa started by looking at this complex issue from the perspective of the legal field. Her research aims at finding ways to incentivise a more sustainable behaviour and effectively face the problem.

Marginal land is not used since it does not deliver enough yields to justify the adopted efforts. Degraded land has lost its ability to grow food due to inappropriate and unsustainable land use. Vast areas have been degraded across the world. Adil’s research focuses on utilising geospatial modelling to classify, explore and use of marginal and degraded lands.

Jean is an experienced scientist who extensively researched the production of bioenergy by anaerobic digestion. Bioenergy is a promising way to reduce the use of fossil resources on one hand and to make good use of organic waste and by-products on the other. Biogas produced through anaerobic digestion is a versatile energy source since it can be used to produce heat, electricity combined with heat or biofuel. more: Jean EL ACHKAR.

Karima directed her university studies and professional activities towards developing new sustainable construction and insulation materials, based on alimentary and agricultural waste. These materials should improve thermal insulation and energy efficiency of buildings predominantly in underprivileged areas. Buildings offer the greatest potential for achieving significant greenhouse gas emission reductions at least cost. more: Karima EL AZHARY.

Droughts and water shortages are two of the many problems that will increase with climate change. It is believed that ancient Maya societies have declined as a result of drought. Benjamin’s research to verify this theory is based on organic geochemistry by linking past population dynamics with hydrological dynamics in the Maya Lowlands. Benjamin is developing techniques to measure population and hydrological changes by analysing various organic molecules preserved in lake sediments. more: Benjamin KEENAN.

In her research, Yalinu is developing novel catalysts for ammonia synthesis. Ammonia is essential for the production of synthetic fertilisers, which are used in agriculture in huge quantities. Currently, the process of ammonia production requires large-scale plants consuming great amounts of energy and leading to a high carbon dioxide output. Yalinu aims to make ammonia synthesis more sustainable, highly efficient, and applicable in small-scale plants. more: Yalinu POYA.

Heat and cold waves particularly affect underprivileged people as they often can neither afford cooling nor heating of their homes. A sustainable solution for this may be phase change material-based sustainable and low-cost thermal energy technologies. To address this, Vikram’s research currently focuses on characterising high performance working fluids for geothermal energy applications — including advanced phase change slurries and blends.
