Time to Say Goodbye (For Now)

Hello everybody,

thank you very much for following my blog during this fall term. I will leave UCL at the end of this term to go back to Germany. Even though I didn't have months or years to show you different effects which the global environmental change will have on the human population, I still hope to have given you some interesting examples from different perspectives.

I knew from the beginning that my chosen topic would to big to handle it in a depth that would be adequate to its global importance. And especially this was the reason why I tried to provide different ways to get even deeper into some topics. This was also a main reason why I went through all blogs of the GEOG3057 course and provided you a selection in two posts (Link to first post / Link to second post), as well as my recommendation to go to the LSE Public Lecture - where I actually met a few of my course-mates (Link to post).

But I still wanted to try, and hopefully that worked, to give you an idea of the various effects that the global environmental change will have on us: from food insecurity in africa to a look into the potential spreading of infectious disease, a new distribution of happiness (including some nice music!) and the potential economical damage in general. To not only give you more informations about one isolated effect I also wrote a general post about the perspectives of the Maldives as a country and geographical unit. In another post I focused on one certain type of geographical units: developing countries and the difficult future that some of them face. For my last post before the end of the term (excluding this one here) I chose to write about nonlinear impacts of global environmental change. I chose this topic because the uncertainty of the used scenarios and the still hugh gap of understanding is a very important fact that I wanted to point out in the context of all the provided informations.

Thank you again for following my work and have a look here again in the future. I might continue my work on this blog whenever I come across something interesting.
