Environmental problem-settings are often of a certain complexity because the relationships between different sectors, and therefore stakeholders, have
to be considered adequately to achieve sustainable solutions. However, the inclusion of data from different sectors is necessary to identify dependencies
between needs and challenges. Neglecting such...

Spatial decision making often requires the consideration of huge datasets from a great variety of sectors. For the achievement of decision that are accepted by as many actors as possible it is indispensable to consider all relevant fields, and contexts. However, if the goal of a project is ill defined or broadly scoped, it can be hard to identify a...
Climate change and a rising number of extreme weather events increase the demand for regional climate adaptation concepts. Consequently, the need for supporting the development of such concepts, for example through the usage of digital climate services, is growing. In particular, the adequate use of geospatial data and Web services could accompany...
Within the framework of the research project “BebeR”, a cross-sector approach has been chosen to decide on measures aiming at adapting to climate on a local level, aimed at mitigating soil erosion.

An important characteristic of transdisciplinary research is the integration of real-life, practical problems and scientific knowledge. In many cases problems related to climate change concern primarily scientists who analyze vast amounts of data aiming at forecasting potential effects of climate change. However, if climate change adaptation measur...
A typical characteristic of spatial problem-solving is the multi-disciplinarity, i.e. different actors from various sectors have to be involved in decision making processes. To satisfy as many actors as possible it is necessary, to consider all relevant fields, and contexts. This can be a problem due to the complexity of a project, especially if th...
Preceded by a ‘personal word’ from the authors, the focus of this paper is on a number of facts and activities that together describe how AGILE developed from an idea in the garden of the late Peter Burrough in Wageningen in July 1997 to a mature and well known organization nowadays. After a short description of those very first years where the rea...

Geoapplications are envisaged to support employees in economy and administration while solving spatial problems. Within this framework, the idea of using a holistic approach during the analysis and the solution of the problem is not new, but still not often used. Such a view requires the consideration of different contexts in which the spatial prob...
GeoGovernment als Teil des eGovernment ist heute ohne den Einsatz von Geoinformationssystemen und -diensten nicht denkbar.

The project KLIMPASS was aimed at the development of an adaptation strategy to climate change based on a regional, and local level. The basis of such a strategy is formed by the existing climate change scenarios. The overall goal is to move from a high level of abstraction to context specific conditions, involving local stakeholders and concrete ac...
In the preamble of the final report of the UN-Climate Conference in Cancún in December 2010, 193 countries recognised that global warming needs to be limited to less than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels to avoid dangerous climate change. This translates, on one hand, to an increased need for mitigation, but on the other hand also requ...

To add new research I want to add more authors to a publication. However, I get a list with many names but not necessarily authors that are findable in this list. How can I add these "new" authors to my research?
Context information, in its different forms, plays a crucial role for mobile applications. However, it can be worthwhile to integrate context-information in other kinds of information systems as well. It depends obviously on the type of context, if its consideration leads to an improvement of the system or application, as well as its output. This research field is not new, but it is seems to raise new significance due to the increasing need of all kinds of applications to include current and complete information in dependence of the varying situations in which users can be.
