This excursion provides an interdisciplinary insight into the geomorphological, ecological, and natural processes shaping the Schneeberg region. The focus lies on the natural dynamics of the alpine landscape, human land use, and the impacts of climate change. By integrating geomorphology, vegetation geography, and land-use issues, the excursion will explore key aspects of alpine landscape development.Objectives:
-) Understanding geomorphological and ecological processes in high mountain environments.
-) Examining the effects of climate change on alpine ecosystems.
-) Reflecting on human land use and its consequences for landscapes and biodiversity.
-) Linking geoscientific and conservation perspectives.Methods:
The excursion includes field observations, mapping, and discussions on current research topics. Additionally, an expert in conservation will provide insights into protection strategies for alpine habitats. Finally, participants will compile a brief documentation of their findings and discussions.
