SUMMARY:EPICamp IV: Hydrosphere: Challenges of preserving and using WATER (Eco-)Systems in the Anthropocene .
DESCRIPTION:The EPICamp will take place online and is hosted by the University of Freiburg. It will take place on March 23-24 2022\, submission deadline for all types of thematic contributions is February 15 2022\, registration is open until 19 March 2022. \nPlease find attached a PDF version of the Call for Participation\nConference abstract\nAddressing the hydrosphere\, this EPICamp will look at water (eco-) systems impacted by both natural processes and human intervention. Water is equally a natural and social resource at the core of human existence which in turn has deeply shaped the waters that flow through the Earth. Taking an Anthropocence perspective\, we invite a fully interdisciplinary approach – combining ecological\, biological\, earth\, and social sciences – to discuss challenges\, opportunities\, and solutions for the socio-ecological systems of water. \nThis includes thinking about sustainable management of water resources\, the preservation of biodiversity\, the ecosystem functioning for healthy societies but also the interconnection between the environment and cultural identities\, such as the conservation of traditional ways of life and the creation of resilient economies based on water(s). \nAquatic ecosystems are fragile and sentinel systems of reckless human-induced global change. In the future\, they are likely to become even more fragile in terms of ecosystem functions and services. Human-induced environmental changes including elevated greenhouse gases\, over-fertilization of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems\, habitat fragmentation\, increasing extraction of resources from terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems\, and the mass production of harmful substances worldwide all negatively affect ecosystem functioning\, global natural cycles\, and biodiversity. They also have long-term consequences on the human health and the viability of entire communities. Therefore\, it will be a precondition to identify the complex interplay of local and global human actions which lead to local environmental impacts and adaptation. Considering far-reaching challenges related to the global changes we are facing\, this EPICamp will integrate knowledge on adverse human impacts on the ecosystems formed by lakes\, rivers\, water sheds\, marshes\, and marine waters. It will stimulate discussion on adaptive and mitigation efforts against these challenges\, identifying solutions which provide a balance between satisfying human needs and ecosystem demands. In order to balance the natural / engineering sciences with more human-centred approaches\, this EPICamp in particular invites scholars from the emerging field of Environmental Humanities. The EnvHum address ecological and sustainability-related issues through historical\, political and cultural lenses to aid in the development of appropriate forms of resilience and sustainability as well as their communication to society. \nPotential subthemes include but are not limited to: \n\nHydrology and ecosystem adaptation\nWater as a source of life and change\nInland waters – pollution\, restoration and management\nCommunity activism for water protection: sociological & natural science perspectives\nHistory(ies) of Waterways and Water Bodies: from local cases to global challenges\nChanges in human metabolism\, connectivity and the effects on aquatic systems\nScaling up or Scaling Down: impacts of global environmental change on the hydrosphere\nBalancing human needs and ecosystem demands: sustainable management of water resources\nGlobal water cycles: arctic waters and climate change\, marine waters and pollutionEPICUR-Research EPICamp IV Hydrosphere Page 2 on 3\nHydrological extremes: challenges of intensifying droughts and floods\nMasses of water\, water of the masses: land use\, forests and human settlement\nSocio-ecohydrological systems in the tension between natural processes and human intervention\nMulti-functionality of aquatic systems to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem functions\nThe fragility of water body’s ecosystem functions: surface and groundwater systems\nScarcity\, migration\, war: the economics and politics of / for water\nWater science & engineering: technological innovation\, ecological challenges and social impact\n\nEarly career researchers\nPotential participants of the EPICamps should have a general interest in conducting interdisciplinary research and/or working in a transdisciplinary manner with non-university partners. You should have a proven interest in the topic of the EPICamps you wish to attend. However\, no previous experience in the field and/or inter-and transdisciplinary work is required.  \nBased on the format of the barcamp/unconference\, the program of each EPICamp will look different and open up opportunities to present and discuss research and projects in mini-thesis presentations\, poster sessions\, panel or group discussions\, etc.\, but also space for ad-hoc meetings\, one-on-one video chats\, academic speed dating sessions and methodological exchange.

SUMMARY:EPICamp V: Sustainable cities and regional transitions
DESCRIPTION:The EPICamp will take place online and is hosted by the BOKU University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences\, Vienna. It will take place on March 31th to April 1st 2022\, submission deadline for all types of thematic contributions is 7 March 2022\, registration is open until 30 March 2022. \nPlease find attached a PDF version of the Call for Participation\nConference abstract\nRapid urbanisation turns cities into highly dynamic building blocks of sustainable development. Urban sustainability is regularly examined in relation to the living environment\, its design\, supply of ecosystem services\, its appropriation and transformation\, both on an object scale (e.g.\, what do streets or urban green spaces look like\, how can they be transformed along the mobility shift and what are their effects) and on a larger scale (e.g.\, green space provision and green space justice)\, and includes both immediate and long-term effects of the XXI century crisis such as effects of climate change or the COVID-19 pandemic on societal needs\, expectations\, and behaviour. Sustainability at the urban scale is thought of not only as an interdisciplinary\, cross-cutting issue between different topics like urban landscape planning\, mobility\, urban environmental justice\, or waste management\, but also as tightly related to the relationships with the urban hinterland.Cities are already characterised by a relatively low per-capita resource use and emissions as compared to national averages. However\, cities also heavily draw on complex supply chains from their national hinterland or from other countries\, inducing significant resource use and emissions elsewhere which increases the overall ecological footprint of goods and services consumed by city residents. Considering this spatial disconnection between production and consumption is essential in urban sustainability analysis. Consequently\, cities have to be thought of as embedded in their regional rural hinterland\, as well as in the wider national and global economy and in a multi-scale and multi-layer ecosystem services system. Promoting local circular commerce and reducing outsourcing of environmental burdens in production chains may allow reducing emissions\, ecological footprints\, and increasing care for the environment. This EPICamp will identify contemporary challenges and best practice examples for cross-border\, interdisciplinary research collaboration.List of keywords and sub-themes (other related topics are welcome): \n\nRelationships between cities and rural hinterland in the context of sustainability\nUrban and regional sustainability transition and environmental justice\nUrban metabolism\, incl. trade and resource footprints\nRenewable and efficient energy production\nLandscape and urban planning\nGreen infrastructure\, nature-based solutions and human-nature interactions in urban context\nSocial aspects of urban sustainability transformation and citizen engagement in decision making\nDigitization\, smart cities and bio-cities\nWater and solid waste management\, resource use\, and circular economy\nUrban remediation to recover the land and the original value\nBuilt-environment and land take\, incl. land sealing\nSustainable transportation and mobility\nUrban climate change mitigation and adaptation\nUrban and peri-urban ecosystem services and biodiversity\nPublic health in urban areas and role of landscape planning\, incl. COVID-19 related issues\n\nEarly career researchers\nPotential participants of the EPICamps should have a general interest in conducting interdisciplinary research and/or working in a transdisciplinary manner with non-university partners. You should have a proven interest in the topic of the EPICamps you wish to attend.
