The Global and Regional Land-Use Change Research Group aims to understand interrelated processes of global change and their impacts on land as a scarce resource, as well as potential trade-offs in biomass use.

Against the backdrop of global change, one of the greatest societal challenges is the sustainable use of biomass to feed a growing world population, to substitute fossil fuels with renewable and storable energy and to preserve ecosystems. In developing solutions to these challenges, a prerequisite is to understand the interdependent processes of global change and their impact on scarce land resources, as well as possible trade-offs in biomass use. The research group contributes to this knowledge. In doing so, the research group works on different spatial scales and in an inter- as well as transdisciplinary manner.

Arriving by train:

Basel has two train stations. Basel SBB (trains from Switzerland, France and international trains) or Basel Badischer Bahnhof (trains from Germany). The bus no. 30 interconnects both stations.
