✦ Synopsis
The GCTE-SEN is a core project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme. The thrust of the GCTE-SEN is twofold: (1) to design and undertake experimental and monitoring programmes to provide a predictive understanding of the impacts of changes in climate and land-use on soil erosion; and (2) to refine and adapt current erosion models (for use in global change studies) from plot to regional scales. The network was developed to encourage international collaborations and has been very successful. There have been several meetings in support of GCTE-SEN evaluating, testing and comparing water erosion models but very little has been done in wind erosion and aeolian processes. More information on the network can be found on their web page at (http://mwnta.nmw.ac.uk/GCTEFocus3/networks/erosion.htm).
