RESEARCH AT THE INSTITUTE
Research at the institute is very diverse. In the areas of society, the environment and resources, we deal with change in our environment, particularly climate and land use, as well as the transformation of our society(ies). We examine the management of natural and digital resources, relationships between environment and health, as well as local, regional and national mobility and their factors. A strong focus on methodological development in close collaboration of methodological, didactic and scientific disciplines is our unique characteristic. Geographical education and the visual communication of complex relationships round off our research profile.
