Obiettivo To improve the understanding of the impact of desertification on headwater channels and rivers, where desertification is understood to include the effects of both human activities and climatic changes, and to extend these findings to the development of advice to those responsible for managing the environment and environmental change in Europe.Investigation of the controls on gully development and expansion will allow modelling of these effects using computer simulation to predict the impact through space and time of climatic and socio-economic factors of runoff and sediment yields from headwater channels. Changes in ephemeral rivers in dry Mediterranean environments will be studied to develop a model to predict changes in channel morphology, sediment and water yield and surface cover use potential of the channels. The model can then be used as a management tool for ephemeral channels. Project 4 also includes a coordination service for the whole MEDALUS III programme. Coordination includes running plenary sessions and group meetings, and preparing publications of working papers and reports of the project.
