These changes do not always contribute to sustainable development and often increase the pressure on the natural resources that we depend on. Our impact on the environment is immense, and we are fast approaching several tipping points. Without proper management, these environments and the natural resources they provide will be depleted and degraded, sometimes irreversibly. They will no longer be able to provide society with essential services (water, food, carbon sequestration, temperature and rainfall regulation, pest regulation etc.)."@en .

"Understanding urban dynamics and urban growth is crucial for strategic long-term planning of infrastructure, economic development, environmental sustainability, social equity and overall urban resilience. At its core, the interaction between land use and transportation plays a pivotal role in shaping urban dynamics, and such interactions and dynamics can be most efficiently understood by modelling.\nModelling urban dynamics and growth involves the use of various theoretical frameworks that captures transportation infrastructure affects land use patterns and vice versa. In this course, the students will not only be introduced with theories about land use and transportation interactions, but also knowledges and techniques of implementing models that encodes the interactions quantitatively. Several modelling frameworks (to be specified) will be introduced to simulate travel decisions and behaviours, mobility and accessibility, land use land cover changes. On top of developing the modelling capacity, the students will also be trained to assess and interpret the modelled scenarios, so that to link the modelling into the practical context of urban planning and policy making."@en .

"Land Administration encompasses four fields i.e. land tenure, land use, land value and land development. These four fields are also referred to as land management practices. This course focuses on the land management practices in the context of the policy frameworks and sustainable development. The land management paradigm is used a guiding framework. The land management paradigm stresses the relationship between land policy and the four land administration functions i.e. land tenure, land value, land use and land development – and the wider societal goals. As such, legal frameworks, institutions, processes, interventions, successes and challenges are discussed in the context of social, economic, environmental pillars of development. Further, how these land management practices also link with emerging issues such as climate change are also discussed. The course therefore addresses both conventional and innovative ways of land management, promoting a paradigm shift towards responsible land administration. The course relates state-of-the-art scientific knowledge to students' experiences, perceptions and country context. "@en . "Responsible Land Administration"@en . .

Various process interact at various time scales, ranging from minutes in atmospheric processes to days in land processes and even millions of years in geological processes. Monitoring of natural resources therefore deals with monitoring of a changing earth surface cover. Even when observing geological processes, the observational environment still changes by the minute. \n\nIn this course, remote sensing is applied for monitoring changes in land cover and land use, covering both system drivers (e.g., changes in land use) and response variables. Attention is given to linking the physical world with ethical and social considerations, environment and social aspects of technology, consulting different stakeholders in the management of the resources.

Different methods and techniques are available to guide NRM in its efforts to reverse resource degradation or alleviate its consequences. Proper understanding of cause and effect of changes in natural resources is crucial to achieve this. As these changes occur in the real-world, and not in a laboratory set-up, making statements about causal relations is a challenge.\n\nIn this course, students will study generic techniques and apply and evaluate environmental models that aim to estimate change in natural resources in response to environmental changes."@en .
