4th Central European Geomorphology Conference: „From surface to core – and back. A geodynamic view on Earth’s surface“, 9.-13.10.2017

In irregular intervals since the opening of the "iron curtain" the annual meeting of the German Geomorphology Working Group (AK Geomorphologie) has been held as "Central European Geomorphology Conference". The 4th conference will be hosted by the University of Bayreuth from 9 to 13 October, 2017, including two days excursions into the Bavarian-Bohemian Geopark. "From surface to core – and back. A geodynamic view on Earth’s surface" has been chosen as guiding theme, aiming to bring together geomorphologists, geoscientists and geoecologists at the cutting edge of research. A number of keynote and invited lectures is designated as well as extended allocated periods for poster sessions for the seven anticipated sessions. The public evening lecture by Leibniz prize awardee Prof. Dr. Dan Frost (Bayerisches Geoinstitut, Bayreuth) presents recent research on the challenging question "How can diamonds come to the earth’s surface?"

Workshop „Medienbilder humanitärer Hilfe – Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis“ am 24.‐26. März 2017

Vor dem Hintergrund einer sich wandelnden Medienlandschaft und einer zunehmenden Professionalisierung der internationalen humanitären Hilfe findet eine intensive Mediatisierung von Katastrophen statt. Jedoch rufen humanitäre Katastrophen meist eine sehr selektive Aufmerksamkeit von Massenmedien hervor. Die unterschiedliche Medienwirksamkeit von Katastrophen spiegelt sich oft in der Spendenbereitschaft wider. Gleichzeitig simplifizieren mediale Narrative Katastrophen, ihre Entstehungsbedingungen und zeichnen ein stereotypes Bild humanitärer Hilfe.

1st Call for Paper: VGI-Analytics 2017

VGI-Analytics 2017 is the 4th workshop in a series of AGILE pre-conference workshops Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and social media data have become part of our everyday lives over the past few years. Whereas in the early beginnings of crowd-sourced data the collection occurred primarily to isolated, individual platforms, contribution patterns are now beginning to be more intertwined between different platforms, both at the application level and at the user side. This means that crowd-sourcing applications nowadays begin to offer opportunities to share data between them during data collection and contribution processes, for example, by tweeting an Instagram image or by viewing a Mapillary image layer while editing OpenStreetMap data.

Call for papers – Special Issue and Workshop on Resistance and New Movements in the Urban

The special issue aims to investigate processes, projects and (new) terrains of resistance in the urban. Urban social movements striving for environmental and climate justice, energy democracy or “the right to the city” have emerged all around the world.

They share the idea of creating new urban commons and democratic forms of controlling them (be that water and energy re-municipalization, urban gardening, repair cafés, do-it-yourself-and-with-others initiatives, fab labs, new types of housing etc.).
