The Water-Energy-Food Nexus Knowledge-Action Network acts as a liaison between Earth system science, social science, humanities, and society to explore and promote science-based solutions to address pressing water, energy and food system challenges. The Water-Energy-Food Nexus Knowledge-Action Network does this by generating sustainable pathways, which identify synergies between water, energy and food systems and take into account trade-offs among these essential human needs. The generated sustainable pathways provide a solid foundation on which policy and management decisions can be made.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;18779&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;slideInUp&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1553578645047{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;btnOffices&#8221;]<em>Figure 1: The percentage of world population lacking access to electricity, safe drinking water and food.

His research includes: remote sensing and geospatial technologies; environmental monitoring, assessment and modeling; land use and land cover change dynamics; and decision support systems for agriculture and rangeland. Over the past two decades, he: developed geospatial modeling tools to guide rangeland and cropland management; incorporated satellite-based biophysical attributes to improve climate modeling and predictions; integrated land use and land cover information in biogeochemical models to better understand the role of land in global change processes; applied geospatial technologies to characterize landscape patterns for large scale ecological assessment; and developed innovative ways of using geospatial technologies for improved cropland change detection and production estimation. His recent research efforts center on a WEF (water-energy-food) Nexus framework to integrate land, humans, environment and climate change for sustainable development in developing countries in Southeast Asia, Central Asia and East Africa.\r\nAs director, Dr. Qi has led the Center for Global Change &amp; Earth Observations in several large-scale research efforts to assess the impacts of climate change and human activities on ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration, food production, and water resources. By integrating physical processes, human interventions and ecosystem services, the Center generates innovative ways to understand coupled natural and human systems. As the director of the Office of China Programs at Michigan State University, Dr. Qi is leading a major effort to establish an Asia Hub initiative in China to promote innovative international partnerships and collaboration with institutions in China, Central Asia and Southeast Asia. He obtained funding from Nanjing Agricultural University to implement the Asia Hub on the WEF Nexus and Agricultural Science, organized a series of workshops in Southeast Asia and built a regional network focusing on interactions and synergies among water, energy and food systems in the region.\r\nInternationally, Dr. Qi is the co-director of the North American Nodal Office of Global Land Programme, located at Michigan State University. At the same time, he serves in numerous international programs and projects, including: MAIRS Project Scientist of the NASA\u2019s LCLUC Program, liaison for the NEESPI program for China, lead scientist of the Central Asia Regional Information Network (CARIN) and MekRIN (Mekong Regional Information Network) under the GOFC-GOLD program.<\/span><\/p>\n

of Thessaly in Greece. She comes from a diverse Engineering background, including mechanical, industrial, civil and environmental, with her research interests lying at the intersection of various disciplines, including engineering, urban planning, hydrology, energy, biology, ecology, agriculture, economics and informatics. Having taught at various departments, representing many of these disciplines,&nbsp; she has developed the ability to&nbsp; &ldquo;speak the language&rdquo; of many of these specialists and communicate with them effectively. In addition to being involved in&nbsp; various networks, namely WssTP, EIP-Water, EIP-Agri and NetwercH2O, she is also the Vice-Chairperson of the International Conference on Environmental Management, Engineering, Planning and Economics (CEMEPE) and member of the Organizing Committee and\/or Scientific Committee of two other international conferences, including the International Water Systems conference (EWaS).&nbsp;Recently, Chrysi&rsquo;s team was awarded funding by the European Commission for the exciting &ldquo;Sustainable Integrated Management FOR the NEXUS of water-land-food-energy-climate for a resource efficient Europe&rdquo; (SIM4NEXUS) project (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sim4nexus.eu\/\">www.sim4nexus.eu<\/a>). The project develops a serious game for decision- and policy-makers, assisting them to better understand and visualise policies holistically and at various spatial scales, thereby allowing them to better understand the science behind the nexus.Furthermore, she leads a Work Package on the Science of the Nexus. As part of this role, she studies and explores the interlinkages, synergies and trade-offs between natural resources within the nexus. She is passionate about the nexus concept and is determined to promote it to the scientific and policy-making communities, to ensure that its importance is recognised. As a national case study leader in SIM4NEXUS and in other projects, she is used to organizing and running workshops with stakeholders, authorities and ministries, interviewing key people on the nexus, and successfully supporting the nexus concept in their strategic planning.<\/span><\/p>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n

She also leads, among other programmes, Vital Signs (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vitalsigns.org\">www.vitalsigns.org<\/a>), an integrated monitoring system that generates data on agriculture, ecosystems and human wellbeing and transforms them into decision support tools for managers and planners to enable better decision-making in support of sustainable development. Previously, Alice worked for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) where she served as Team Leader of the Environmental Finance Unit in Africa for six-and-a-half years. Prior to joining UNDP, Alice worked for Sprint Telecommunications (USA), the National Environment Management Authority in Uganda, Forest Trends (USA) and as a consultant for the World Bank, UNEP Economics and Trade Branch (Geneva), the Foundation for International Environmental Law and Development (UK), the UNFCCC Secretariat (Bonn) and the Institute for European Environmental Policy (Brussels) on a wide range of issues. They include the economics of ecosystems and biodiversity, trade and the environment, environmental governance, innovative finance and many more.Her more recent work has focused on systems thinking and identifying decisions points or processes across sectors where data can be influential in policy and planning. This is what attracted her to Vital Signs where she will continue to promote multi-scale and multi-sectoral use of Vital Signs\u2019 data and ensure the same data adds value to policy and planning frameworks across sectors and scales. Alice holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in Social Sciences from Makerere University (Uganda), and a Master\u2019s Degree in Agricultural and Applied Economics from the University of Wisconsin (USA).<\/span><\/p>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n        <div>\n            \n        <div class=\"col\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"#memberModal2797\"><div class=\"vc_grid-item-mini vc_clearfix\"><div class=\"vc_gitem-animated-block \"><div class=\"vc_gitem-zone vc_gitem-zone-a memberFix\" style=\"height: 300px;\">\n                    <div class=\"vc_gitem-zone-mini\">\n                <div class=\"vc_gitem_row vc_row vc_gitem-row-position-top\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 member vc_gitem-col vc_gitem-col-align-\">\n            <div class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_\">\n                <figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/futureearth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/marja-copy.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"vc_single_image-img memberImage\">\n                <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n                <div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"hoverMember\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"vc_custom_heading memberNameGrid vc_custom_1548452142837 vc_gitem-post-data vc_gitem-post-data-source-post_title\">\n                <div style=\"text-align: left\">Marja Spierenburg<\/div>\n            <\/div>  \n\n        <div class=\"memberRoleContainer\"><div class=\"vc_gitem-post-meta-field-role memberRole vc_gitem-align-left\"> \n            PECS, Nexus Knowledge-Action Network;

He received his PhD in the field of groundwater hydrology from University of Tsukuba, Japan in 1987. He was a visiting scholar at the Division of Groundwater, CSIRO, Australia (1987-1988, 1996-1997), Department of Hydrology and Water Resources, University of Arizona, USA (1991-1992), and Department of Oceanography, Florida State University (2001-2002, 2002-2003). He has worked on groundwater research and teaching of hydrogeology in universities including The University of Tsukuba and Nara University of Education. He moved to RIHN in 2003, and became a full professor of hydrogeology in 2009.\r\nHe is currently the vice president of International Association of Hydrogeology (2016-present) and a president of the Japanese Association of Groundwater Hydrology (2015-present). He served as a coordinator of the UNESCO GRAPHIC Project (2004-2011) and GWSP-Asia network (2005-2009), Associate Editor of Ground Water (2003-2008) and Hydrological Processes (2010-2013), and Vice President of the International Committee of Groundwater of IAHS under IUGG (2007-2011).\r\nHe has worked on groundwater projects around the world, in particular Asia, authoring or co-authoring over 120 articles and 8 books including \u201cSubsurface Hydrological Responses to land cover\/use changes (Kluwer, 1997)\u201d, \u201cLand and Marine Hydrogeology (Elsevier, 2003)\u201d, \u201cGroundwater system responses to changing climate (Taylor and Francis, 2009), \u201cGroundwater and subsurface environment (Springer, 2011)\u201d, and \u201cGroundwater as a key for adaptation to the changing climate and society (Springer, 2014)\u201d. He has published widely in some of the top journals in hydrogeology and geophysics, such as Hydrogeology Journal, Nature Climate Change, Nature Geoscience, Water Resources Research, Groundwater and Journal of Hydrology.\r\nHe has strong connections to interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary international research, which include not only natural\/social sciences like oceanography, climatology, engineering, economics, human geography, anthropology, etc., but also stakeholder engagement research including governors, industries and citizens. Recently, he received a transdisciplinary research fund as PI of the Belmont Forum \u201cSustainable Urban Global Initiative Food-Water-Energy Nexus (SUGI FWE NEXUS)\u201d: Intelligent Urban Metabolic Systems for Green Cities of Tomorrow: a FWE Nexus-based Approach, and as PI of international research projects of the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN) which are strongly related to water-energy-food Nexus in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary ways.\r\nHe also has experiences as Principal Investigator in co-designing research agenda to identify research priorities for the Japanese Strategic Research Agenda (JSRA), by emphasizing sustainability with researchers, representatives of local governments, industry, media, and non-governmental organizations, as well as highlighting a series of topics and themes for researchers to prioritize. As a result, he has a strong record of working at disciplinary and sectoral interfaces at an international scale.<\/span><\/p>\n                                        <\/div>\n
