【报告简介】
Drawing on research in China, Africa and Europe, Prof. Larissa Naylor will outline how inter and transdisciplinary (with communities and practitioners) research can help society better deliver sustainable development goals and climate resilient places. This involves using a socio-geomorphological approach to critical zone and coastal processes research where the combined impacts of human activities, development choices and anthropogenic climate changes on landscape processes, including nature-based solutions, are examined.
