Landscape ecology. Geographical research direction or an interdisciplinary researchprogramme?
to the rational space organisation of landscape. As an interdisciplinary applied researchprogramme it is open to biology and other landscape sciences. - (MS)
The landscape ecology existing in geography since the time of A. von HUMBOLDT, was named landscape physiology . Since C. TROLL (1939) obtained the name landscape ecology . From the point of view of geography it is a complex research aiming
The need for research in geographic education : it would be nice to have some data

There are numerous possible expensive research projects that could address each of the many facets of the implications of global climate change. The paper describes a systematic process to identify and the structure the objectives of research
on global change. The result is a hierarchy of 81 important research objectives.

and ecological impacts. Obviously, these issues cannot be resolved by individual disciplines, but require a holistic research. The article presents an outline of such an interdisciplinary researchprogramme. - (MT)
Spatial aspects of spatial development will become a key question of social debate in the coming decades. However, substantial research deficits exist with respect to the interaction between human activities in space and their economic, social

The purpose of the programme is to study gradients in mass balance parameters across the northern Scandinavian mountains. Storglaciären is the most important glacier in the network and is measured with high accuracy and measurement density
. Storglaciären is also used as a reference for all other glaciers in the programme. In general, Swedish glaciers are still responding to the major climatic warming around 1910-1920 by retreat, and the effect of very long response times. However, measured volume
