This paper analyses how the main environmental research networks in southern Africa have adopted a regional approach to environmental issues. Documented information is used to assess and discuss the experiences of the regional environmental research
Prospects for the open treatment of uncertainty in environmental research
Data processing ; Decision making process ; Environment ; Forecast ; Model ; Research ; Risk ; Uncertainty
This paper argues for more open treatments of uncertainty in environmental research. Such openness requires an appreciation of the social and psychological causes of uncertainty, the role of observations as imperfect and contingent expressions
of visible events, and the myriad ways in which scientific information can be misinterpreted, misused, or sidelined in environmental decision-making. The paper begins with a discussion of the nature and causes of uncertainty in environmental research
’ that characterize recent work in environmental research.

Towards a geographical research agenda for social enterprise
Community ; Economic sector ; Firm ; Management ; Research programme ; Social deprivation ; Social sciences ; Spatial economy ; Third sector ; United Kingdom
This paper demonstrates that some of the research gaps relating to social enterprise and socially enterprising behaviour within the UK could be tackled within a geographical research agenda that recognises the place-based aspects of such activity
Energy ; Energy policy ; Landscape ; Renewable energy ; Research
This editorial discusses the empirical and theoretical potential of developing research works at the crossroads of landscapes and energies, and ventures a tentative agenda for what can be termed the ''landscapes of energies''. The papers gathered
in this special issue all explore the evolving relationship between landscape and energy, albeit from different angles. They capture, together, some of the richness of this emerging research field.

Using dendogeomorphology in research on a slope deformation in Běleč, Czech-Moravian Highland
Research on the Běleč creeping slope deformation is a contribution to identification of the causes of a breakdown of the water-supply conduit of the Brno regional water-supply network and to ensuring its regular operation. Field geomorphological
mapping was used for the research and dendrogeomorphologic methods, especially the method of analysis of tree rings (eccentric tree rings, growth changes), were used for studying the slope failure dynamism. Slope movement activity in the years 1900–2007

The paper discusses the anticipated changes in the position and contents of geography and its researches, which should be its response to the multi-level environmental challenges. It discusses the importance of the concept of sustainability
Tourism and leisure research has a long tradition in Slovenian geography. It begun simultaneously with the development of mass tourism after the Second World War. In the paper, past research and professional work from this field is presented as well

This paper synthesizes and expands upon key issues and findings from the Meeting of Young Researchers in Earth Science (MYRES) III , to help chart a course for future collaboration among Earth surface scientists and ecologists: it represents
the consensus view of a competitively selected group of 77 early-career researchers. Two broad themes of future research are identified: (1) co-evolution of landforms and biological communities; and (2) humans as modifiers of the landscape (through direct
and indirect actions). Also outlined are the state of the art in analytical, experimental and modelling techniques in ecological and geomorphological research, and novel new research avenues that combine these techniques are suggested.
Sustainable consumption and governance : reflecting on a research agenda for Ireland
argues that there are outstanding, and related, areas of contention that need further research in order to generate a more comprehensive and coherent picture of consumption and how it may be made more sustainable. It examines everyday practices
and their regulation in two key areas of consumption in Ireland - how we get around (transport) and how we live in our homes (heating/cooling, lighting, cleaning and eating) - to identify current gaps in social science research. In conclusion a multi-pronged research

Focusing on the life and work of Jacques Bethemont (born 1928), this book comprises a series of conversations with Christian Daudel on Bethemont’s education, his teaching, research, travels and ideas (including his Protestant faith
), and an anthology of abbreviated texts by Bethemont, ranging from his earliest work to his most recent. Critical foci include his doctoral research on the Rhône, a life-long devotion to the study of water and rivers across the globe, and a long career as lecturer
