Inge Aalders
Inge has over 10 years experience in research and consultancy. With a background in physical geography and sustainable agriculture, much of the early work has focused on soil quality and soil erosion, and landscape ecology. More recently her work has focused on the process and modelling of landscape and land-use change, and the integration of socio-economic and biophysical processes.
Current research interests
My work includes research in landscape and land use change, soil quality and soil erosion, and landscape ecology. Main research interests focus on spatio-temporal dynamics, issues of scale and the integration of socio-economic and biophysical processes, and include the use of interdisciplinary and participatory research methodologies as well as the application of Bayesian Belief Networks, GIS and RS in research and monitoring of land use change to support the development of resilience among local communities and their ability to manage and adapt to change in both temperate and tropical areas.
