Mike Ricketts contributes to “Transdisciplinary research on sustainability transition, climate adaptation and risk reduction” workshop at Karstad University, Sweden
Document and Location member Dr. Mike Ricketts and Dr. Dan Keech (CCRI, University of Gloucestershire) were invtied contribute to the workshop “Transdisciplinary research on sustainability transition, climate adaptation and risk reduction” at Karstad University, Sweden, between 2nd and 4th March 2020.
Ricketts and Keech have been working together to explore the transgression of physical and social boundaries during severe floods experienced on the Somerset Levels and Moors in the consecutive winters of 2013 and 2014. Following a presentation of their work at last year’s Nordic Geographers’ Meeting in Trondheim, Norway, the pair were invited to the workshop hosted by Professor Magareta Dalhström, Director of the Centre for Research on Region Building (CRS) at Karlstad University, Sweden. The workshop shared research in relation to sustainability transition and/or climate adaptation and risk reduction, and how this is carried out in a collaborative manner, for example in relation to research and ‘practice’, and collaboration between different partners in society.
Ricketts and Keech were joined by regional and environmental geographers, risk management modellers (who demonstrated interactive flood modelling tools), IT and communication specialists, policy and governance experts and educationalists from Karlstad and Linköping Universities.
