Pleased to see work with @DrFlurina exploring ways of modelling potential and experienced tranquillity published in @geog_compass.
We argue that tranquillity should be treated as a CES in its own right and deserves more attention in policy and planning. doi.org/10.1111/gec3.12726

Why are 'messy gardens' contentious? Is messy nature beautiful? Why does it even matter for
#NatureRecovery? Debates about what nature recovery looks like are vital for tackling biodiversity loss & climate change, say @DrFlurina & @jsplorimer

🐺When triangulating data from a Swiss park with @marinacracco and others, you uncover perceptions of ‘wolf' and surprising silence on its social values! Our new publication shows the importance of diverse methods to reveal hidden social values & perceptions on sensitive topics.
In nature conservation practice and research, do not assume a single method may be enough to capture people’s social values and controversial issues. Some of these values may be masked or amplified depending on the method you use. Explore more here: nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

👀Do you know what’s in the news about Swiss Parks?📑
In our latest publication, we from @GCUZH use a multiscalar text analysis approach to explore news media discourses across temporal and thematic scales for managing protected areas in Switzerland. 📊

@GCUZH recently hosted environmental philosopher @Martin_Drenthen from Radboud University 🇳🇱. His visit sparked rich discussions on ethical questions about nature management and rewilding, especially the return of large mammals to the Netherlands 🐺🌿.

What do we see when we look at landscapes? What does writing tell us about landscape value? And how reproducible are the results? Inhye talked about this at Agile in Glasgow, and the (short) paper is online if you missed the talk.
Agile 2024 Glasgow is just over — it was full of inspiring works along with the consensus for data gap and reproducibility. My contribution aligns to the point, to examine lexical reproducibility in our landscape with natural language 🔑agile-giss.copernicus.org/ar……

🚲 Wieviel das Velo im Stadtverkehr genutzt wird, hängt stark davon ab, wie sicher sich die Velofahrenden fühlen. Masterstudent Tim Fässler hat das Velonetz der Stadt Zürich unter die Lupe genommen: blog.geo.uzh.ch/leave-no-one…
@uzh_geo @UZH_Science @GCUZH
🚴♂️«Leave no one behind»: Erfüllt das Velonetz der Stadt Zürich diesen Anspruch?
Wie sicher sich Velofahrende fühlen, beeinflusst stark, ob das Velo genutzt wird. Dies und anderes wird von Tim Fässler in seine Masterarbeit untersucht.

Enjoy this giant artwork on Irchel Campus: It was painted by French-Swiss artist SAYPE using eco-friendly paint. The ephemeral artwork is in support of @SOSMedSuisse which was awarded the @rightlivelihood Award, also known as Alternative Nobel Prize.

Related languages diverge in their conceptualisation of landscape. Although sharing sensory associations, their emotion associations vary. English speakers sure seem to like anthropogenic features compared to French or German speakers! @PStriedl @GCUZH doi.org/10.1080/01426397.202…
