Reducing soil degradation to increase resilience to climate change and strengthen livelihoods in Ethiopia.

Soil degradation is a major problem in Ethiopia. Depletion of soil organic matter is a cause of low agricultural productivity, as soils become less fertile and less resilient to extreme weather events, which are expected to increase with climate change. Further, this could increase the risk of crop failure and soil erosion, and soil carbon and nutrient losses. Low soil fertility is linked to poverty. Therefore, farmers need support to invest in soil conservation measures and to more effectively use organic resources, such as dung, to restore soils. If used effectively, such measures could be successful in addressing soil degradation

State-of-the-art approaches for evidence-based springshed management to increase resilience to climate change in Nepal

• A thorough understanding of spring systems is essential to design evidence-based springshed interventions. The necessary information can be collected by conducting hydrometeorological monitoring, hydrogeological assessments and isotope analysis. • Springs are recharged by a combination of both surface water and groundwater sources that may extend beyond administrative and surface water boundaries. Identification of the nature and seasonality of springs provides a basis for prioritization of springs and design of interventions. • Considering a broader landscape approach, integrating the management of forests, agricultural fields, soils and water systems over larger areas, is recommended for longterm springshed management and to ensure adequate water supplies under conditions of climate change

What if someone asked "What if?"

Research Highlights was a newsletter highlighting the research being done at the Boston University School of Management (Questrom School of Business).MBC (MANAGEMENT BY CURIOSITY) The great advances always come from asking the right questions. The questions throughout this booklet reflect some of the ways Boston University School of Management alumni have transformed academic experience into professional results. Curiosity is a positive force, because good management is about exploring, not accepting. It's about revision, refinement, and rethinking rather than regurgitation. It's a matter of taking the heat rather than taking shelter. It's a career of challenging yourself and your employees continually to improve the quality of your products and service. And it's the kind of management you'll learn at Boston University
