The University of Kiel hosted the conference “Current perspectives and challenges for landscape research, planning and development” over 23-24 September 2019, jointly organised by the Arbeitskreis Landschaftsforschung and the Deutsche Akademie für Landeskunde (DAL), and was funded by LRG.
50 years ago, a ‘Geographer’s Day’ was held in Kiel. Now ‘landscape’ is again a topic within geography. The 2019 conference reflected the current state of landscape research, both in terms of theoretical concepts and research work in several areas.
The full programme is available in English / auf Deutsch.
Podcasts of most of the presentations are below. (The audio quality for some presentations is lower than others due to a static mic and moving speakers, but all are audible.)
