I am Elias Handal from Palestine, one of the SAGE Centre students at Tübingen University. My project is funded by DAAD. 

I am working under the project named: "Developing indicators for tipping points of rangelands in the Jordan River region under climate and land use change."

My study takes place in an area near Hebron city in Palestine, and I am using rainout shelters to study the effect of drought on plant-insect interactions, and how to use them as early indicators for climate change.
