Abstract |
OPTIMASS (Options for sustainable geo-biosphere feedback management in savanna systems under regional and global change) is a collaborative, inter- and trans-disciplinary German-Namibian research project. OPTIMASS aims to provide guidelines and strategies for sustainable use, stabilisation and restoration of ecosystem services in Namibian savannas, focusing on geo-biosphere feedbacks. OPTIMASS strongly supports young researchers by establishing a student and scientist exchange program, summer schools and joint master and PhD courses. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under FKZ 01LL1302A until January 2018 and is part of the SPACES (Science Partnerships for the Assessment of Complex Earth System Processes) program initiated by the BMBF |
