BRAIN BITES | Why should we preserve large city trees in Karlsruhe?

Wednesday, 25 September 2024, 12:30-13:30
TRIANGEL Transfer | Kultur | Raum
Kaiserstraße 93, 76133 Karlsruhe

An event of TRIANGEL Transfer I Kultur I Raum

Karlsruhe is becoming warmer and drier as climate changes in southwest Germany. Large city trees often become the first target for removal during infrastructure projects. At the same time, the poor vitality of city trees due to climate change impacts, diseases, and early aging of trees also sometimes contributes to the premature removal of trees. In this presentation, Dr. Somidh Saha will show the importance of large trees in cooling and biodiversity conservation in urban areas (e.g., streets, cemeteries, and parks) and provide some outlook on improving arboriculture and tree care so that the large trees can be kept in the city for a longer time. He will provide examples from the concluded GrüneLunge, ongoing URBORETUM, and other research projects.

Bring your lunch, grab a refreshing cold drink from the intro café and make yourself comfortable!

With its short, inspiring talks – from science and business to global topics – the format is aimed at everyone who wants to discover new perspectives and ideas – from employees, entrepreneurs, students, young people, retirees to science nerds.

Our mission: to encourage the transfer of knowledge and open up new perspectives through the impulses of different topics and people.

We look forward to an inspiring snack and chat!

You can’t be there? No problem! We always stream our BRAIN BITES live via YouTube.

The event will be held in English.
