Land use and the resulting landscape character is the result of complex human–environment interactions. The complexity of these processes increasingly challenges planners, environmental agencies and policy makers. In this summer school the students learn how science can support practitioners in their decisions on sustainable land-use/landscape development.
The requirements are:
- An interest in quantitative and qualitative analysis of complex land systems
- An interest in science-practice interfaces
- basic knowledge in R, ArcGIS
- Motivation letter
- 1-page short CV
PhD students and Postdocs around the world are welcome to register. 24 students will be chosen.
This summer school is organized by the Swiss Federal Institute of Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL in cooperation with the Global Land Programme GLP and University of Berne. The lecturers build a multi-disciplinary group of renowned scientists from WSL, ETH Zurich, Wageningen University, Free University of Amsterdam, and University of Berne.
