Aarhus
The doctoral candidate will work with the Aarhus Municipality’s Department of Water and Nature, which is responsible for developing public blue-green spaces in Aarhus. The landscape laboratory site is placed on Eskelunden, a 30-hectare and 20-year-old urban forest located on a former waste deposit in the Aarhus River valley. Already in 2016, the site was designated as a pilot project landscape laboratory site. Since then, it has played a foundational role in the development of the research network “Atmospheres in the Urban Anthropocene” as well as other landscape laboratory sites in the Aarhus River valley. It is the platform for interdisciplinary collaborations between AAA, ECONOVO – Centre for Ecological Dynamics in a Novel Biosphere at the Aarhus University, the Museum of Natural History Aarhus and Aarhus Municipality. As a pilot project site, different interdisciplinary experiments on biodiversity and urban nature have already been initiated and the DC will be engaged in the continued exploration of the site as an Anthropocene landscape with its own agency interconnected with human and non-human actors.
