Towards an ICT-driven Community-based Nutrition Education network for increasing awareness and knowledge transfer on Maternal Nutrition (NEMAT)
REFNo: SS1224ES
AIM:
The research aims at increasing community-level awareness on maternal nutrition and adoption of healthy nutrition practices among women of reproductive age, through establishing an ICT-driven community-based nutrition education network for supporting transfer of information/knowledge on maternal nutrition aspects.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
Specifically, this research will:
1) Increase availability and accessibility of maternal nutrition information/knowledge, through developing an ICT platform for disseminating IEC materials on maternal nutrition.
2) Enable timely sharing of information/knowledge on challenges in maternal nutrition and solution/best practices, through supporting interactive dialogue between health and nutrition specialists and women at community level.
3) Enable contextual understanding of maternal nutrition aspects and required interventions, through prompting women to provide feedback on IEC materials and devising control measures for continuous improvement of IEC materials.
4) Ensure existence of an operational multidisciplinary and community-based stakeholder network, through leveraging on the role of community health extension workers to establish the network and continuously monitor its performance.

TroPeaCC: Tropical Peatlands and the Carbon Cycle
REFNo: NS310ES
Tropical peatlands are the most carbon-dense ecosystems in the world and they store the equivalent of ~10 years of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Despite their importance, crucial questions remain about carbon cycling in tropical peatlands and improving understanding is critical as they are at high risk from deforestation and drainage for oil palm cultivation.
TroPeaCC will provide a step-change gain in our understanding of tropical peatland functioning and in projecting their response to climate change.
PI Gallego-Sala will use her unique background that bridges peatland modelling and observations to deliver a novel interdisciplinary approach to tackle four outstanding questions about tropical peatlands:
Q1: What controls the geographical distribution of peatlands in the tropics? TASK1: To assess the tropical peatland extent using a combination of models
Q2: How large is the tropical peatland CO2 sink and what are its main climatic drivers? TASK2: To characterize the drivers of carbon accumulation rates in tropical peatlands using the palaeo-archive.
Q3: How large is the methane flux in tropical peatlands? What are the main controls at the intercontinental scale? TASK3: To determine the main controls on methane fluxes in tropical peatlands, using eddy covariance, chamber-based gas flux measurements, and ground penetrating radar.
Q4: What is the overall carbon balance of tropical peatlands and how will this change in the future? TASK4: To forecast future changes of the extent of tropical peatlands, of their carbon store and of methane emissions, using the results of tasks 1-3 to parameterise and evaluate a global dynamic vegetation model that includes tropical peatlands for the first time.
The interdisciplinary approach will lead to a comprehensive understanding of the role of tropical peatlands in the global carbon cycle, allowing their inclusion in earth system models, and improving their management to optimise provision of ecosystem services including carbon capture and storage.
