Sci-Café: Forests of the sea and their role in climate change
Wednesday, March 22
5:15 – 6:30 p.m.
University Library
Followed by light refreshments
Mangroves have the ability to grow where no other tree can, making significant contributions that benefit coastal ecosystems. Mangroves, along with seagrass, salt-marshes and seaweed, also help fight against climate change. How do they do it, and what is being done to work with these natural allies? Join us at Sci-Café to hear more from experts in this field.
Speakers:
Daniele Daffonchio, KAUST
Dorte Krause-Jensen, Aarhus University
Catherine Lovelock, University of Queensland
Moderated by John Tannaci, KAUST director of research operations
Sci-Café is an interactive discussion between KAUST scientists, community members and collaborators. Sci-Café is open to all members of the KAUST community to ask questions, discuss science and discover something new! We will also be live-streaming the discussion on the KAUST Facebook page.
