"Resilience in East African Landscapes: Identifying critical thresholds and sustainable trajectories – past, present and future" (REAL)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
"The strong temporal dynamics of the East African landscape and natural-resource distributions have always encouraged people to innovate and adapt to changing conditions. However, increasing population growth, changes in patterns of land tenure, industrialization, weak systems of governance, and global climate change have exacerbated previously localized environmental problems such as soil erosion ...

Modeling Milky Way History (MMWH)
Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
"One of the biggest promises of astrophysics in the coming decades is to understand the history of our Galaxy and that of its immediate galactic vicinity. The European Union will play a key role in this effort through its cornerstone Gaia mission, which will map the Milky Way in unprecedented detail. Recovering the history of the Galaxy, however, will only be possible in concert with suitable theo ...

Baryonic Acoustic Oscilations as a Robust Probe for Dark Energy (BAO and Dark Energy)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
This research proposal focuses on the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation signature in the low-redshift clustering of galaxies as a test for Dark Energy. Two vigorous lines of research are outlined. These are aimed at the challenge of readying this test and the other Large-Scale Structure tests of cosmology, for the era of percent-precision. This proposal also seeks funding to support the PI during thei ...
