DETECT is a research network of hydrologists, meteorologists, land-use modelers, geodesists, data assimilation and remote sensing specialists, data scientists, agricultural economists, and social scientists from the Faculties of Agriculture (LWF) and Mathematics and Natural Sciences (MNF) of the Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms University Bonn (UB), the Universities of Cologne and Göttingen (UG), the Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) and the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD).

Projects within DETECT will investigate how land-use and water management lead to persistent modifications in the coupled water and energy cycles of land and atmosphere (‘drying’ and ‘wetting’); and thus disentangle the role of these drivers of regional climate change from radiative forcing.
