Ágnes Vári, PhD

research fellow

We assess and map ecosystem services (ES), based on stakeholder involvement and participatory methods, integrating local expert knowledge into our models. We also use statistic analysis and GIS for building the ES models. Part of our work is regional, but we also have some assessments at national scale. Assessing ecosystem conditions is an important element within our work. My personal focus is on water related ecosystems and water related functions (hydrologic ES).
