Research Information Science (RIS)Events
Conducting research involving citizen participants are sometimes restricted and confusing. Collected data samples has shown areas of miscommunication, restrictions, and tools that are seen by some as improper. In an upcoming presentation this month in April, the speaker will discuss areas of concern when recruiting participants, and how to improve methods of collecting data in citizen science. We’re really looking forward to learning some great ideas on this one at PloCC!
Exciting research showing the difference between non-equilibrium thinking and our perceived views of an ideal landscape’s equilibrium state can be challenged by how we manage our natural resources through wind energy installation or mapping flood-risk and coastal areas responsibly and with preparedness. We wish you all the very best in your continued research Professor Sherren!
In this seminar, the availability of water and power generation are necessary commodities for human survival. This seminar helps us understand the importance of hydropower and its ability to generate power while tackling the complexities of water shortages during a period of climate change. An informative seminar deserving of praise!
The presentation went well! Thank you to those who attended online! We hope you enjoyed listening to reasons why favourite places are special both in Wales and in New Zealand. Here’s the link again if you are interested in completing the online survey.
Time to check how well we’re doing when it comes to nature, the arts and wellbeing! This upcoming PloCC seminar on Wednesday 8th of June 2022 at 11:10 am should get our thinking caps on, finding ways to be more “eco-capable”! Should be a good seminar! See you there!
This fantastic presentation on Wednesday 11th of May at 11:00 am showed the collaborative art work between schools and researchers – an effort to educate children about a better, cleaner, and safer environment! While acknowledging the rich diversity amongst our communities, all of us can make our environment green and clean. It was great seeing the artwork prepared by children too!
The urbanisation of certain races in the Americas is a reflection of human movement from rural to urban areas. This is common amongst tribal peoples who search for better living opportunities. Their identities are often met with obvious racial identifications, raising questions of whether places are affected by these foreign newcomers. Does place change the cultural identities of newcomers? Or, do the new cultural backgrounds of foreigners change place, changing both its landscape and its original cultural expression? In an upcoming April 2022 platial seminar, we will consider how the urbanisation of people can affect the platial context of their new urban surroundings. Should be exciting!
Set in Wales, this workshop will bring a collaborative effort amongst researchers and local government; sharing and discussing solutions for places affected by climate change. We are looking forward to attending this online workshop!
Platial science is a concept of place and people; a topic that discusses many things including the colourful, cultural and diverse aspects of people to the land and their interactions with it. In this, we explore the intellectual minds within the Places of Climate Change forum and find ways to help protect places we love and live in.
It was fantastic attending the online Platial’21 International Symposium hosted by the University of Twente, the Netherlands this month of December 15 to 17, 2021. Everyone contributed great presentations for the Third Proceedings! See our video that was also presented!
