Making the world differently: Prospective uses of emerging technologies to inform river science and management

Hörsal III NIG
Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 W

Vortrag


Working with nature is a key premise of effective approaches to river science and management. Emerging technologies give us an amazing capacity to develop place-based understandings of landscapes. In this talk I will present an overview of prospective uses of emerging technologies to inform river science and management. Building upon principles such as ‘Respect diversity’, ‘Work with change’ and ‘Know your catchment’, I will discuss the importance of inclusive approaches to enquiry in efforts to manage river systems, framing geographic perspectives alongside geophysical applications.
