Geography

The Professorship for Geography deals with transport research, retail research and tourism development. In addition, she supervised the project seminar on transport planning at the Lüneburg campus, which supported the construction planning and concentration of the University of Lüneburg.

In teaching, the professorship is associated with the representation of the subject in its full breadth of physical and human geography. In research, the focus is on transport and economic geography. Almost all human activity is concretised in the shaping of space, and (cultural) space in turn determines human behaviour. In this continuum of interrelationships, the professorship profiles itself at the intersection of the quadruple field of theory - practice - research - (spatial) planning. This means that original research, cooperation with other institutions and commissions for expert opinions are used to generate new findings and to make them useful for spatial action and its optimisation in terms of sustainability. This is currently happening in the field of urban transport research with the generation of the new survey instrument "travel time experiments".
