Praktisk tvärvetenskap

Hållbar utveckling påverkar alla tänkbara aspekter av vår civilisation. Men att arbeta med hållbarhet kräver kommunikation och samarbete mellan många vetenskapliga discipliner, mellan samhällets praktiker och mellan företagens produktionskompetens. Tvärvetenskapliga metoder är kärnan i den verktygslåda som behövs för de kommande århundradena för naturvetare, samhällsvetare, praktiker och studenter. I den här kursen utforskar vi tvärvetenskaplighet inom två huvudområden. Den ena är planetens biogeokemiska kretslopp där olika naturvetenskapliga metoder används: biologer, kemister, oceanografer, meteorologer, fysiker och geologer är alla inblandade. Det andra området relaterar till planering av hållbara stads-inlandssystem, som kombinerar ett stort antal natur- och samhällsvetenskapliga discipliner som arbetar med ingenjörer, geografer, biologer, sociologer, historiker, ekonomer, planerare, arkitekter och landskapsarkitekter.
