'Geography: Linking Tradition with Future', Bruges, Belgium
The rapid changes affecting societies around the world, along with rising global sea level, are of high concern for geographers. Exploring issues ranging from physical, urban and rural environments and their evolution to climate, pollution, development and political-economy, they study the interconnections between these issues. This allows them to create patterns and processes that impact present and future generations. Geography connects physical, human and technological sciences.
The conference will bring together researchers working in the field of geography to discuss some of the latest developments such as remotely-sensed data, innovative environmental sensing, the role of vegetation in the global carbon cycle, the historical trajectories of ecosystems derived from lake sediments, as well as the ways in which people flow into, through, and out of a large city during the course of a day.For further information, please visit:
