Hans dead

After a long, serious illness, our esteemed colleague and long-time President Hans Renes died. With him we are losing a friendly friend and colleague and science is losing one of the most important cultural landscape researchers in Europe.


Standa MartinatUnfortunately, we have to announce another death. We will be also missing Stanislav (Standa) Martinat, a brilliant young scientist from Czechia, who was recently empoyed at the James Hutton Institute in Scotland. Those of us, having participated in our COST-RELY Action, will for sure remember his kind character, bringing forward discussions and tasks in a cooperative and constructive manner. Our whishes are with his family. Some colleagues, first of all, Bohumil Frantal, have dedicated an article towards Standas life and work, which you'll find here.
