Bytes Europe · Carbon removal beyond the treesAnother of our projects found similar tendencies around the world. We ran a survey in 30 countries, and focus groups in urban and rural areas in 22 countries, with randomly-recruited members of the public using quotas to ensure socio-demographic representation. The countries chosen represented a roughly even split between Global North and Global South, with every continent represented. Here, afforestation and reforestation was explicitly included, alongside six other carbon removal methods in the survey (see Fig. 1) and four others in the focus groups. Efforts were similarly made to mitigate the well-known naturalism bias, for example by avoiding the un-contextual use

“So what does it mean to bike geographically? In some ways I think it's impossible to not bike geographically. Being on your bike is, by definition, geographic. In other ways, though, I think it requires reflection on the things one encounters during a ride.”

🔴 🌍 **Global gridded population datasets systematically underrepresent rural population**

_“We find large discrepancies between the examined datasets, and, without exception, significant negative biases of −53%, −65%, −67%, −68%, and −84% for WorldPop, GWP, GRUMP, LandScan, and GHS-POP, respectively. This implies that rural population is, even in the most accurate dataset, underestimated by half compared to reported figures.”_

Announcement poster of the symposium (full text retranscibed here) 20 March Thusrday 9:30-17:30 Symposium To pay or not to pay: the role of fares in public transport Opening keynote Prof. Dr. Wojciech Keblowski * Vrije Universiteit Brussel Fare-free public transport as an urban policy: an international perspective Closing keynote Prof. Dr. Theresa Enright * University of Toronto Public, private, or common transportation? * On-site with virtual access (portraits of the speakers) The symposium marks the end of the LiFT project which focused on the policy of abolishing fares in public transport, otherwise known as fare-free public transport (FFPT). Although FFPT has become an established practice, discussed and implemented by policy-makers across Europe, it remains largely controversial and under-researched. The event will explore the transport, social, and political impacts of FFPT in Luxembourg and beyond. The symposium will present the main findings of the LiFT project with a focus on FFPT in Luxembourg among others, as well as findings from a selection of other studies in Europe (e.g., the 9-Euro ticket in Germany, or FFPT in French cities) about the role of fares in public transport. Participation is free, but registration is required.

I'm reading this 1956 essay by Carl O Sauer, titled "the education of a geographer". It's a beautiful meditation on the disciplinary incoherence of #geography as a discipline, which was true back then, and is even more true today.

It strikes me is that I only came across the essay a few days ago, and I'm a PhD student in geography.

I feel that every university degree should have a required course about the history of the discipline it studies.
