Work Packages BioChange is comprised of four different but complementary work packages, two cross-cutting projects and a thematic group which address the majority of drivers of immediate biodiversity loss. Several other cross-cutting themes will also be addressed by all of the work packages, although these are not directly funded. A number of working groups and desk studies will be set up to integrate current thinking/existing knowledge, and to identify priority areas for furture research funding. All work packages are centered around County Clare, including Galway Bay and the Aran Islands. Click on the links below for information on each element of the BioChange project. |
