FEMS Webinar on Microbial Impacts Climate Change

Speakers: Max Häggblom, Rutgers University; Cornelia U Welte, Radboud University; Susanne Liebner, Helmholtz Centre Potsdam; Joel E Kostka, Georgia Institute of Technology. 

Abstract:

Join us for the FEMS Microbiology Ecology Webinar on Microbial Impacts of Climate Change, an enlightening exploration into the pivotal role of microbial communities in our evolving climate. This session will explore the latest research uncovering how microorganisms in diverse ecosystems—from urban canals to Arctic coastlines—are responding to and influencing environmental changes.

Discover the significant impacts microbes have on greenhouse gas dynamics and ecosystem transformations, shedding light on potential strategies for mitigating climate change impacts. This webinar is tailored for microbiologists, students, and environmental enthusiasts eager to connect microbial activity with global environmental shifts. The timing is significant, as this webinar is due to be broadcast as the last day of the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference, more commonly known as COP29, takes place.
