Who we are
AdaptDam brings together researchers from four Nordic and Baltic institutions with expertise in forest ecology, hydrology, biodiversity, water quality, and environmental modelling. The project is carried out in close collaboration with forest management organizations that host the experimental sites and support the implementation of adaptive drainage solutions.
