Communicating Geomorphology: JGHE Annual Lecture

摘要: Communication strategies emphasize concerns for content (what is said) and process (the way things are said). Scientists have a responsibility to communicate the findings of their research, enhancing prospects that insights can meaningfully inform management practice. When used effectively, principles from geomorphology provide critical guidance environmental management. Three key geomorphic messages outlined here: Respect diversity through communicating spatial temporal controls upon landscape character behaviour; Work with nature in conveying range behaviour any given system; Be proactive by determining trajectory change. Uptake understanding reflects, among many factors, our ability clearly. In these messages, different approaches likely prove more effective when addressing differing audiences, whether school/university classes, stakeholders, managers, politicians, or broader community.
