By doing so I hope to deliver a poignant critique of asick working environment, but also a humorous language forinitiating healing and chang

PastCoast – Using Ground Penetrating Radar data for high resolution chronological investigations of landscape change
Get PDFStudying land use, transportation, and settlement patterns impacted by isostatic uplift, flash floods, and coastal erosion is essential for understanding past human activities, especially in the face of ongoing climate change. Non-intrusive geophysical methods, particularly 3D ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and digital elevation models (LiDAR), provide valuable insights into the relationship between past human activities and environmental changes. This paper presents examples from coastal Iron Age sites in Norway, demonstrating how geophysical methods and remote sensing can help to understand slow coastal landscape development and prehistoric human responses to shoreline changes. Large-scale datasets collected in Denmark and Norway provide data on palaeohydrography, palaeotopography, and geomorphological processes, with an emphasis on palaeo beach ridges and sea level changes
A Media-Historical Analysis of Denmark’s Week 46 Initiative
No full textThis article examines the historical development and archival value of Denmark’s week 46 initiative - a selective legal deposit scheme for local radio and television broadcasting running since 1988. By tracing the transition from analog tape recordings to digital practices such as streaming, uploads, and web harvesting, the study analyzes how evolving technologies and institutional strategies shape what is preserved and how. Drawing on internal documentation, metadata analysis, and interviews with staff, we explore challenges in representation, metadata quality, and long-term accessibility. Week 46 offers a unique longitudinal dataset that captures shifts in mediapolicy, production, and distribution, serving as a valuable historical resource. We argue that understanding the provenance, scope, and limitations of such collections is crucial for interpreting media history and cultural memory. The findings highlight the importance of methodological reflexivity and cross-institutional collaboration in maintaining robust broadcast archives in thedigital age.This paper examines the historical development and archival value of Denmark’s week 46 initiative- a selective legal deposit scheme for local radio and television broadcasting running since 1988.By tracing the transition from analog tape recordings to digital practices such as streaming,uploads, and web harvesting, the study analyzes how evolving technologies and institutional strategies shape what is preserved and how.
