EUGEO Vienna 2025: Geographies of a Changing Europe (8-11 September 2025)
Session 138: Integrative geographical research in and about Europe: Concepts and applications
Integrative geography is often seen as the (“third”) branch of geography where human and physical geography overlap to explore society-nature and human-environment-relations, including critically questioning the underlying dichotomies of such relations. In contrast to the popular emphasis on the integrative character of geography, the integration of the different perspectives seems to be rare in actual geographical research. This session aims to provide a platform to present and discuss integrative geographical research with a particular focus on challenges of a changing Europe. We invite suggestions for paper presentations that ideally combine perspectives of physical and human geography. Topics may include – but are not limited to – problems of sustainability, human and environmental health, natural hazards and associated risks, effects of environmental changes on human activities and social structures.
