RAMOSCH LAB: Interdisciplinary Research on Terraced Landscapes in Mountain Environments

Ancient terraces hold important information about land use, human-environment interaction, landscape perception and social ecology in the past and are essential elements of landscape preservation and heritage management in the present.

To discuss these topics in an inspiring setting, the workshop Ramosch Lab – Interdisciplinary Research on Terraced Landscapes in Mountain Environments will be held from August 3 to 5, 2024 (Sat to Mon) in the Lower Engadine, Switzerland. It will bring together experts from various disciplines – environmental sciences, geosciences, and humanities – in order to stimulate discussions of ancient terrace systems from a variety of perspectives.

The workshop will feature keynotes by invited experts, regular papers, plenary discussions, and a field trip to the well-preserved prehistoric terraces near Ramosch that have been investigated by the TERRA project since 2014.

Papers may be announced until April 10, 2024 (see Call for Papers). Registration is possible until April 30, 2024. Participation is limited to 20 persons.
