<Title>Dr. Bulmer Gave Two Presentations!</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span>Last month Dr. Bulmer from JCET was invited to
    give two presentations. The first was at the Sixth Spatial Socio-Cultural
    Knowledge Workshop which was held at the Defense Academy Shrivenham. The focus
    of the workshop was on Human Geography for Decision Support and Dr Bulmer gave
    a paper entitled “Civil Military Operations: The increasing necessity for
    Geo-inputs in planning and response”. Attending the workshop were a wide
    stakeholder group, including Defence and non-Defence departments of state and
    NGOs. The aim was to develop an integrated view on seven different, but related
    objectives connected with human geography for decision support. The second was
    at the Tenth International Conference on Military Geosciences: Rebellions and
    Military Reactions held in Aviemore. Dr. Bulmer gave the Keynote speech entitled
    “Geo-inputs in Civil Military Planning and Response”. He highlighted that Earth
    in the 21<sup>st</sup> Century is marked with societies ravaged by, or at
    significant risk of, conflicts, disasters, environmental emergencies, and
    humanitarian catastrophes. In the last decades, national and foreign militaries
    have been involved in emergency and disaster response, reconstruction and
    development roles, often as part of counter insurgency operations,
    peace-keeping and peace support operations. Dr. Bulmer proposed that the 21<sup>st</sup>
    Century strategic environment is increasingly best described using the concept
    of coupled human natural systems. A myriad of ethnic, religious, ideological
    and capability drivers create the human systems that interface and interact
    with the natural system. The human system is increasingly being shocked by
    environmental degradation, geological, hydrometeorological, space weather
    events and climate change. Around the world, increasing evidence that climate
    change is altering the interfaces and interactions that link human to natural
    sub-systems is being recognized in civil and military policies and strategies. Dr. Bulmer is of the opinion that this requires a renewed emphasis in civil
    military planning on identifying naturally induced drivers of conflict,
    disasters and humanitarian catastrophes. Where possible, the aim is to prevent
    them by understanding factors such as their frequency, duration and magnitude.
    Such understanding of the physical environment requires geo-eco-bio-physical
    and related technical knowledge collectively described as geo-inputs. These
    inputs are especially important to civil military planners and responders when
    considering the duration of future military conflicts, responses to disasters
    and humanitarian catastrophes. If the desired end-state is to be attained then
    the effects of climate change on the coupled human natural systems in the
    geographical area of operations, must be identified and appropriately informed
    responses implemented.  <a href="http://jcet.umbc.edu/files/2013/07/20130709-CHNS-mhb-u.jpeg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Click here for the full image.</a><br></span></div>
