Elisabet Lewan
Associate professor (Soil Sciences / Environmental Physics)
Research interests
- Water- and energy fluxes in soil-plant-atmosphere systems (e.g. forest and agricultural ecosystems).
- Climate impacts on water and solute transport in land ecoystems.
- Soil and vegetation properties - Significance for evaporation from different land covers.
- Application and development of processoriented simulation models.
