IMBeR Human Dimensions Training Course

A half-day training programme will be organised on 19 September 2018. This aimed to provide early career scientists and students with information on the latest progress in IMBeR related research on the interactions between human and ocean systems.Published 08.11.2018 – Updated 08.11.2018

Global change is occurring now, often with consequences far beyond those anticipated. Marine ecosystems in particular face multiple challenges from global change, induced by natural and anthropogenic stressors, which affect their ability to function and deliver goods and services to humankind (Bundy et al. 2016*). Needless to say, it’s urgently necessary to create effective and efficient social responses to the global change in marine systems. To this end, the IMBeR HDWG training course aims to provide early career scientists and students with information on the latest progress in IMBeR related research on the development of a new concept of social responses to the global change in marine systems by presenting an integrated assessment framework-IMBeR-ADApT (Assessment based on Description, Responses and Appraisal for a Typology) and its related studies. In the training course, four lectures will be given by experts from China, Japan and Korea and a facilitated discussion will follow. Participants are highly encouraged to take a look into IMBeR-ADApT template in advance and try to bring a case study to the training course for discussion.
