In the Hydrology group at Goethe University Frankfurt we have two main research fields:
(1) *Global water modelling*, and
(2) *Methods for transdisciplinary knowledge integration and participatory processes*.
Modelling of water resources and water use at the global scale is an essential tool to support a sustainable management of water, food and energy in a globalized world. It also helps to improve our understanding of the Earth system as water transport and storage variations on the continents plays an important role for atmospheric processes, global biogeochemical cycles, sea level and the gravity field. In the Hydrology group in Frankfurt we are continuously improving and applying our global hydrology and water use model WaterGAP to quantify the current water resources situation and to derive interesting scenarios of the future, with a focus on assessing climate change risks.
However, to identify sustainable management options and to address societal problems at the interface of humans and environment, it is essential to take into account knowledge and problem perspectives of multiple actors. Transdisciplinary research integrates the knowledge of multiple scientific disciplines and of stakeholders from outside of academia, and strategies, for example for climate change adaptation, can be developed in participatory processes. In the Hydrology group we investigate the optimal design of participatory processes and transdisciplinary research, using methods like actor modeling, Bayesian Networks and scenario generation that have the potential to enhance social learning and knowledge integration.
