The next meeting of the Climate Journal Club will take place on Monday 21st February in room U1-04 (please note the change of building with respect to the previous meetings) at 11:30. Anna Napoli will talk about "Altitudinal dependence of meteoclimatic conditions in the Great Alpine Region".
Here the abstract of the talk:
Mountain environments are of a great importance in our lives, as they cover about 25% of the Earth’s surface, and the whole global population depends on them directly or indirectly. Mountain ecosystems are particularly sensitive to the impacts of climate change and are being affected at a faster rate than other environments. Climate change is directly affecting mountain settings, but also all those who depend on them. To shed further light on this important field, my research project deals with the study of the altitudinal dependence of meteo-climatic conditions in the past and in the future, with a focus on the Great Alpine Region (GAR), the highest and most extensive mountain range system in Europe, that is impacted by global and local anthropic activities.
A friendly reminder will be sent in the next days.
Looking forward to meeting you all,
the CJC team
