This Tidal Cultures blog was set up in 2013  for the project:

‘“Between the Tides”. Comparative arts and humanities approaches to living with(in) intertidal landscapes in UK & the Netherlands. Learning from those who live and work with complexity, change and fragility’:

Funded by The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) (UK) Humanities Research Networking and Exchange Scheme;

Principle Investigator: Dr Owain Jones, Reader in cultural geography: landscape, place and environment;  Countryside & Community Research Institute. In May 2014 Owain is Professor of Environmental Humanities; Bath Spa University, UK.

Co-investigator: Dr. Bettina van Hoven, Department of Cultural Geography, Faculty of The Spatial Sciences, University of Groningen

Initially the blog was, and remains in these pages, a record of the workshop.

• network/workshop activities and outputs.
• links to various aspects of tidal culture.

The blog was then expanded into a wider explorations of Tidal Cultures. That is all the amazing entangled natural and cultural ecology that arises in tidal locations.

From 2015 – 2018 the project inked to the Towards Hydrocitizenship Project, which, in its Bristol (UK) Case Study, has a research theme on Tidal Cultures in Bristol and beyond.

This blog is now updated by Owain only. Huge thanks to Bettina and all others previously involved.
