Researchers and decision-makers lack a shared understanding of resilience, and practical applications in environmental resource management are rare. Here, we define social-ecological resilience as a property of social-ecological systems that includes at least three main characteristics — resistan...
Water, food, energy, and the ecosystems they depend on interact with each other in highly complex and interlinked ways. These interdependencies can be traced particularly well in the context of a river basin, which is delineated by hydrological boundaries. The interactions are shaped by humans in...

Quantifying the sustainability of water availability for the water‐food‐energy‐ecosystem nexus in the Niger River Basin
The energy sector of Ethiopia continues to largely rely on traditional biomass energy due to limited access to modern energy sources to meet growing demand. Long-term energy demand forecasting is essential to guide the country's plans to expand the energy supply system. This study provides a gene...

Ethiopian energy status and demand scenarios: Prospects to improve energy efficiency and mitigate GHG emissions
Appropriate agricultural water management (AWM) is crucial not only for alleviating water scarcity but also for food and nutrition security and healthy ecosystems. The multi‐dimensional nature of AWM and inherently complex feedbacks between its components necessitate a systems approach. This pape...
