Guest Professor: Laurence Lestel
Laurence Lestel, PhD is researcher at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique –CNRS in France. After having worked in the Chemical Science Department in CNRS (1988-1999), she changed her research interests towards Environmental History in order to investigate environmental impacts of increasing industrialization and urbanization in France during the 19th and 20th centuries. Her research mainly focuses on environmental degradation and its perception and management by several actors e.g. state, experts, media. Currently, she works on the Seine river basin, in which she deals with water quality related to the anthropogenic influences. In winter term 2014/15 Laurence Lestel will give a seminar on “Environmental History of European Cities and their Rivers“.

Premiere of the documentary film AFTERMATH
AFTERMATH is a documentary film directed by Raphael Barth. Over a period of seven years Raphael Barth has followed the fate of the Nicobarese in the wake of aid and development after the Tsunami. The film is a high profile international co-production made in India, the Nicobar Islands, Austria, Germany, and UK. Approaching the 10th anniversary of the Tsunami, the film offers unique insights into the lost culture of the Nicobar Islands. In never before seen images, Scientist Simron Jit Singh takes us onto an emotional journey with his video recordings of this mysterious ancient culture. Together with his friends, Journalist Denis Giles and Nicobari Prince Rasheed Yusuf, he is soon confronted with the suffocating pressure of aid and development. They decide to help in a different way: They raise their own money, they start their own aid organisation and they train their own activists from within the Nicobar Islands. A 60-minute documentary of AFTERMATH was first broadcast on Austrian national television (ORF) in December 2009. The final 92-minute film version is now ready for launch to mark the 10th anniversary of the tsunami. Aftermath is produced by acclaimed Golden Girls Filmproduktion, Wien (“Everyday Rebellion”, “Mama Illegal”, “Exile Family Movie” etc.).

New Book: Interdisziplinär und transdisziplinär forschen. Praktiken und Methoden.
Societal problems, like demographic change, regional development, sustainable diet or energy safety are challenges, which can´t be solved within one discipline. Interdisciplinary research is important, but in order to find practicable solutions and a way to implement them partners from the relevant environment have to be involved. Each inter- and transdisciplinary team and project is confronted with the challenge to organise the research process in a way that ensures a good understanding as a fundament of cooperation.Based on thirty years of experience the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies published a book which concentrates on research practices and reflects, how projects start, proceed and end – in short: doing inter- and transdisziplinarity.

ZUG-Minisymposium: “At the Age of the Wild” by Harriet Ritvo
The analogy between artificial selection and natural selection powerfully introduces Darwin’s argument in On the Origin of Species. The parallel between wild species and domesticated breeds was and is far from complete, however, and the combination of similarity and difference that made Darwin’s juxtaposition of wild and domesticated animals both effective and ambiguous still persists. Indeed, as human impact on the environment has become increasingly pervasive, the reciprocal resonance of these categories has intensified; the animal wild has become more appealing as it has become less available. And as the valence of wildness has altered, the stakes around its definition have increased, with implications for such varied enterprises as livestock breeding and environmental conservation. This talk will explore the shifting understandings of wildness in animals and the practices that these understandings have inspired and shaped over the past three centuries, as well as the shifts in societal values that have had important consequences for people, for other animals, and for the environments that we all inhabit.

+ Research projects

HSRM Sustainable Development of the Danube Region
is a cooperation project of AAU with BOKU (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna) to further develop aspects of the Danube:Future Initiative, www.danubefuture.eu, a Flagship Project of Priority Area 7 of the EUSDR, the European Union Strategy for the Danube Region. AAU and BOKU together with the Universities of Trieste and Novi Sad, manage the initiative on behalf of the Danube Rectors Conference and the Alps-Adriatic Rectors Conference. In partnership with IDM, the permanent secretariat of the Danube Rector’s Conference, the project engages in capacity building for inter- and transdisciplinary sustainability research in the Danube River Basin. Verena Winiwarter is Project Coordinator.

BioTransform.at
BioTransform.at investigates the potential contribution of domestically produced biomass to the establishment of a low-carbon society in Austria. Using an integrated model, all types of current and potential biomass uses (food & feed, conventional material uses, advanced biomaterials and energy) are considered for the development of integrated biomass scenarios for Austria up to 2050. In the context of these scenarios, we analyze trade-offs and synergies resulting from competing and cascading uses of biomass, in particular related to greenhouse gas emissions related to land use and its mitigation. The societal dimension will be examined based on stakeholder interviews and a theoretical analysis of social and political implications of different transformation pathways.

LTSER Concept
Commissioned by „LTER Austria“, the Institute of Social Ecology is coordinating a process to conceptualise the research focus of the LTSER platform Eisenwurzen. A scientific board of researchers from various disciplines who are currently working in the region is holding a series of workshops. In these workshops, researchers present their current activities and identify the actual state of work being carried out in the region. This state of work is discussed in view of previous conceptual considerations on LTSER research in order to revise existing concepts and, based on an identification of current knowledge gaps, agree upon future research foci.

Pasture Intensification
The aim of the project is the assessment of output-intensification potentials for global pastures and meadows, e.g. by means of fostered cultivation of brachiaria sp. The project, commissioned by the World Resource Institute (Washington, USA), is conducted in close collaboration with the Chalmers University in Sweden, CSIRO in Australia, the International Livestock Institute in Kenya, IIASA in Austria, and the Colorado State University (USA). The role of the Institute of Social Ecology is to develop and provide global, spatially explicit information that allows to identify and assess areas suitable for intensification, compute land productivity (e.g. net primary production), and to estimate production increase potentials for ruminant livestock products. The overall goal of the project is to improve the understanding of option spaces for future developments in the livestock sectors, with a particular focus on land use competition and food security at the global scale.

Creating a Global MFA Database
The purpose of this project is to form an international consortium of prime research institutes involved in establishing national material flow accounts with a global reach, to regularly report on material use and resource efficiency for the globe, for major world regions and for all countries, and to make data available online for academic researchers, government agencies and business leaders. An information base will be established on the history and state of global material use for all major natural resources – biomass, fossil fuels, metal ores and industrial and construction minerals – with a particular level of detail for specific materials and a set of high level indicators for policy planning and policy evaluation. The global material flow and resource productivity accounts will be institutionalized under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), to ensure regular updates and reporting on global trends for natural resource use.

+ Staff News

Ex SEC Staff member Helga Weisz, co-chair of PIK’s research domain Transdisciplinary Concepts & Methods, was appointed professor for Industrial Ecology and Climate Change at the Faculty for Humanities and Social Sciences in May. This professorship is assigned to both the Institute for Cultural Studies and the Institute for Social Sciences. “This unique combination of humanities, the social and the natural sciences, the latter being represented by PIK, in fact pursues a highly ambitious goal,” says Weisz. “It aims at understanding the role of natural resources for creating both the inertia and the transformation potential inherent in modern societies.”
A molecular biologist and cultural scientist by training, Weisz has held guest professorships at Yale University in the US and at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. Before joining PIK, Weisz was associate professor at Alpen-Adria University in Vienna, where she is also habilitated in Social Ecology.

We welcome Stefan Nirschl, who started on June 16th in our finance department.

We welcome Nora Philadelphy, our student assistant for the winter term 2014/15
