Abstract

'Geospatial Technologies and Climate Change' is a scholarly compilation of seventeen chapters from researchers working on climate change related research in five countries of four continents. Geospatial technologies, synergetic applications of remote sensing and geographical information systems, offer versatile cross-scale tools to study climate change, the climate system's changes over decades, and their impacts on social- and ecological systems. A wide variety of climate change applications and the most advanced tools for climate change research are presented in this volume. The detailed treatment of the topic is framed in the paradigm of spatial planning for mitigation and adaptation. Through multifunctional and flexible thinking the authors investigate the dynamics of natural systems and suggest planning ahead for longer terms, as changes of the climate unfold only over longer periods. The book argues that technological innovations for climate change mitigation and adaptation should begin locally. Three strands of spatially defined climate change research come together in this volume. The first part explores geospatial technologies as assessment tools that play important roles in scoping and monitoring climate change impacts. The second part reviews geospatial technologies as decision support tools applied in planning for adaptation and mitigation. The third part provides an introduction to the basics of geospatial technologies and uncovers their technical potential in advanced climate change research. Designed for students, academics and decision-makers, the volume accounts for the leading currents of thought in applying geospatial technologies in climate change research and adaptation. By demonstrating how diversity of discovery methods can broaden our knowledge, from design charettes through hands-on engagement with the local environment to interpreting satellite imagery, the authors emphasize the importance of inter-disciplinary approaches in addressing unce

Abstract

Education and training are crucial elements in the implementation of international sustainability frameworks and specific sustainable development (SD) policies. In this article we look at several eLearning models and examine two case studies where eLearning for education for sustainability (EFS) has been applied to a variety of audiences. With the advent of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005¿2014), a global focus will be placed on enhancing and increasing both the demand and opportunities for EFS. The task of moving the focus of sustainability for learning to a global scale is daunting, but by leveraging current knowledge networks around the globe, eLearning will play a significant role in creating this transformation. If we can achieve the institutional cooperation necessary to widely deliver eLearning for sustainable development, then we have a chance to create the societal change necessary for sustainability to flourish.
