Stefan Liehr has been a researcher at ISOE since 2003 and is head of the research area Water Resources and Land Use. In his work at ISOE, his research interests focus on a better understanding of the linkages between societal action and natural processes. His focus is on their sustainable design in the field of water and land management. Before joining ISOE, he studied physics at Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, specializing in nonlinear dynamics, geophysics and chemistry. Afterwards, he did his PhD in the field of physics of complex systems at the present Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen and the University of Bremen. Here he dealt with the modeling of non-stationary, stochastic processes and the detection of change signals in complex dynamics. // Stefan Liehr ist seit 2003 wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am ISOE und leitet den Forschungsschwerpunkt Wasserressourcen und Landnutzung. In seiner Tätigkeit am ISOE gilt sein Forschungsinteresse dem besseren Verständnis der Kopplungen von gesellschaftlichem Handeln mit naturräumlichen Prozessen. Sein Fokus ist dabei deren nachhaltige Gestaltung im Bereich des Wasser- und Landmanagements. Vor seiner Tätigkeit am ISOE studierte er Physik an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main mit den Schwerpunkten Nichtlineare Dynamik, Geophysik und Chemie. Danach promovierte er auf dem Gebiet der Physik komplexer Systeme am heutigen Max-Planck-Institut für Dynamik und Selbstorganisation in Göttingen und der Universität Bremen. Hierbei befasste sich mit der Modellierung nichtstationärer, stochastischer Prozesse und der Erkennung von Änderungssignalen in komplexen Dynamiken.

Avoiding pitfalls in knowledge transfer. A guide using the example of communication with Namibian land users

Transdisciplinary research ideally builds upon both scientific approaches and practical knowledge from stakeholders. However, in advanced stages of the research process, how should the knowledge transfer of relevant research results to local stakeholders take place? The example of Namibian land users shows that knowledge has to be prepared and communicated in a target group-specific way. The more you know about the target group in question and the earlier you take the upcoming knowledge transfer into account, the easier this process will be. Although there are phases during the transfer process during which the focus is on the transfer of knowledge from research to practice, it is important not to view this communication process as a one-way street, but as a genuine dialogue.
