Resilience refers to the crucial capacity of communities or physical, chemical, and biological systems to recover from various disruptions such as disturbances, shocks, natural processes, environmental catastrophes, or disease epidemics. Yet, the core mechanisms that determine whether systems demonstrate resilience or vulnerability remain poorly understood. CAWR's research consequently aims to deepen understanding of the fundamental processes that foster resilience within food and water systems.

For instance, a key aspect of CAWR's work involves examining the processes that either strengthen or weaken the resilience of water systems. Our specific areas of investigation include:

Processes contributing to river instability
Effects of climate change on hydrological systems
Water contamination, particularly emerging pollutants
Urban water challenges: the rapid growth of cities worldwide presents poorly understood risks to water systems
