We engage in participatory science and open science, as well as disseminate our results as broadly as possible, to bridge the gap between science and society. We regularly inform about our Impact activities and related outputs in this section of our website.
We are looking for an experienced postdoctoral researcher to lead the development and calculus of a Rural Vulnerability Index in rural Spain.
Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) initiatives often aim to incentivize the joint adoption of forest protection and sustainable management practices. This research in Chiapas, Mexico, shows the limits of PES when parachuted into a context of uneven land tenure, weak collective action and contested leaderships.
While the presence of women in academia is increasing, inequality remains in terms of women’s representation in publication outputs, citations, and leadership roles. In order to highlight the importance of women’s contribution to our research, the LASEG research group has collectively compiled highly inspiring publications led by female scientists.
Public green spaces provide essential benefits for people' health and well-being while triggering environmental attachment and stewardship, eventually resulting in a positive impact on the ecosystem as a whole. However, public green spaces benefits are usually unequally distributed across society. This study aims to understand the perceived benefits people obtain from public green spaces and assess their distribution, including spatial and temporal patterns of use.
We argue that the Covid-19 pandemic can become an opportunity to foster a culture of care and make academic practice more respectful and sustainable.
Transdisciplinary projects that bring together researchers, policy makers, practitioners, industry and citizens, provide one avenue for holistically addressing complex real-world problems. This post presents my experience running three workshops aimed at fostering such interdisciplinarity.
