Research

The department conduct research and education in topics related to interactions between humans and their environmental, social and spatial conditions. We take a holistic approach to solving complex environmental and societal problems. Due to the integration of traditional disciplines we can provide novel perspectives and solutions to these problems. We explore the human, the social and the environmental dynamics over a broad range of temporal: Past, present and future, and spatial: Local, regional and global scales.

Focus areas of the research include population and ecosystem ecology, environmental planning and governance, mobility, tourism and transport, regional planning and development, urban studies, the workplace environment, landscape science, environmental history, cultural identity, sustainable foods and renewable energy
