"Supporting sustainability transformations with spatial analyses"

The presentation explores the possibilities of the current data deluge and spatial analysis in understanding and supporting sustainability transformations. It draws from the work of the Digital Geography Lab and other research groups to particularly discuss the role of mobile big data in understand the dynamism, diversity and development directions of urban areas and regions around them. The presentation provides also an overview on the mechanisms of integrating scientific knowledge on sustainability to practical decision making.

Prof. Dr. Sarah Halvorson (University of Montana)

"A new narrative of resilience in the Hindu Kush-Karakoram-Himalaya? Observations from Bhutan"

The presentation will discuss resilience and reflect on the concept in relation to mountain communities and Indigenous ways of knowing in Bhutan. Located in the Eastern Himalaya, Bhutan is a global biodiversity hotspot.  Further, the spiritual, cultural, and political context of Bhutan supports conservation as a core value and integral component of community resilience. Since 2002 Dr. Halvorson has observed Bhutan’s conservation and sustainability commitments and the unique approaches to help sustain biodiversity even as the country modernizes and increases development. The presentation will draw from field research campaigns and case studies on ecotourism, alpine-based livelihoods, and climate smart agriculture.  Findings from a recent collaboration with mountain farmers will shed light on place-based knowledge and the co-creation of enduring solutions to environmental and climate change-related challenges. The presentation will briefly touch on the implications of the recent global pandemic on Bhutan’s resilience trajectory.

im Jahr 2020 konnte die Denkwerkstatt nur virtuell in reduzierter Form stattfinden. Wie zu erwarten war lag ein Schwerpunkt auf dem Thema digitale/virtuelle Lehre mit Input von Michael Folgmann. Mit dabei war wieder das GeoFeedback vorgestellt von der Fachschaft Geographie. Die neue Prüfungsordnung im Bachelor Geographie (Entwurf) wurde vorgestellt von Uli Beyer. Tobias Roppelt erzählte etwas zur Kommunikation mit Studierenden. Moderiert wurde die erste virtuelle Denkwerkstatt von Selina Thanheiser - vielen Dank !
