GLOBAL LAND PROJECT

Webcasts

To enable the wider network to "participate" and use the GLP webpage as a resource, we are currently experimenting with providing video webcasts of important events. With the technical help of Gregory Greenwood from the Mountain Research Initiative (MRI), we recorded first sessions during our recent Globalisation workshop and LaSyS Conference in Copenhagen. The following links enable you to simultaniously see the power-point presentation and the speaker. We thank MRI for providing this support and hosting the webcasts (MRI) and aim to have a similar solution for GLP in the future.

To see the presentations in your browser please follow the links below. You should see two windows in one page of your browser showing the presentation and the power point at the same time.
You will need to have QuickTime player installed on your computer - if you can not see the video please install the free player first: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/player/
