Theme 2: Interdisciplinarity in land system science: different cultures, agendas, success criteria, mutual interactions and meanings The presentations in this session places emphasis on challenges related to interdisciplinary land systems research. The presenters discuss – using examples from their individual
disciplinary background – what they will require in terms of level of documentation and standards to confirm research hypothesis. The panel discussion focus on how to deal with the
different disciplinary cultures, agendas, data standards, empirical demands and meanings.
Speakers:
Finn Arler (Aalborg University, Denmark) Interdisciplinarity - Why it is so difficult and yet so rewarding...
Kjeld Rasmussen (University of Copenhagen, Denmark) Land system science: crossing the boundaries between the natural and social sciences
Lowe Börjeson (Stockholm University, Sweden/University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) Land systems science and history
Coffee/Tea Break
