Climate Under the Magnifying Glass (Tromsø)

🌍Today, we’ll take a deep dive into the pressing issues surrounding climate and the environment. Our talks will span from the big-picture concept of transformative change—what it means and why it’s essential to protect our planet—to the cutting-edge techniques scientists use to study climate change. Learn how researchers are using ancient DNA preserved in mud to uncover secrets of past climates and predict how climate change will affect biodiversity. We’ll also explore the surprising role of microorganisms in the soil and their impact on the climate. The evening will close on an inspiring note, as we hear how citizen science is empowering individuals to make a meaningful difference for the environment.
