Plausible and desirable futures in the Anthropocene: A new research agenda
While the concept of the Anthropocene reflects the past and present nature, scale and magnitude of human impacts on the Earth System, its true significance lies in how it can be used to guide attitudes, choices, policies and actions that influence the future. Yet, to date much of the research on the Anthropocene has focused on interpreting past and present changes, while saying little about the future. Likewise, many futures studies have been ins…
Working together to address global problems: Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) Medals and Awards ceremony 2014
The Royal Geographical Society (with IBG)'s annual Medals and Awards recognise achievements in researching, communicating and teaching a wide range of geographical knowledge. The speeches and citations are a record of the ceremony of 2014 with comments by Hans Rosling and Professors Geoffrey Boulton, Susan J Smith, Uma Kothari and John Dearing. The speeches encompass communicating geographical data, glaciology, environmental change, human geograp…
Human impact on terrestrial ecosystems, pollen calibration and quantitative reconstruction of past land-cover
Shadow Spaces for Social Learning: A Relational Understanding of Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change within Organisations
Recent UK government policy on climate change, and wider policy movement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, emphasise the building of adaptive capacity. But what are the institutional constraints that shape capacity to build adaptive organisations? The authors synthesise theory from social learning and institutional aspects of multilevel environmental governance to help unpack the patterns of individual and collecti…
Sustainability or Collapse: What Can We Learn from Integrating the History of Humans and the Rest of Nature
Understanding the history of how humans have interacted with the rest of nature can help clarify the options for managing our increasingly interconnected global system. Simple, deterministic relationships between environmental stress and social change are inadequate. Extreme drought, for instance, triggered both social collapse and ingenious management of water through irrigation. Human responses to change, in turn, feed into climate and ecologic…
Land-use history and sediment flux in a lowland lake catchment: Groby Pool, Leicestershire, UK
Whole-basin sediment records have been used to investigate the impact of land-use change and catchment processes on sediment flux to Groby Pool, Leicestershire, UK, over the past c. 200 years. Estimates of sediment yields for the period ad 1945–1989 were calculated using dry mineral mass data from multiple cores. Up-core changes in loss-on-ignition values were used to correlate cores and these were tied to a master chronology based on 210 Pb and …
