Name: Pollutants & Forests: A Changing Planet
Start: 2025-05-19T19:00:00
End: 2025-05-19T21:00:00
Location: Café Bar Dots

Two talks exploring environmental change from opposite ends of the Earth: one dives into the hidden world of groundwater pollutants, while the other takes us on a journey through the vanishing Dry Chaco Forest. Join us as we uncover the urgent threats to our ecosystems—and how they affect everything from water to biodiversity.

Environmental Geosciences - Groundwater Pollutants

I went to study a forest… but I didn’t find It!

Axel Gualdoni-Becerra (PhD student)

One would think that finding the largest dry forest in the world would be something easy...but it´s not that simple. Searching for biodiversity in the largest dry forest in the world, Axel, a PhD student from Argentina, embarks on a 400 km journey to study how tree communities change along a rainfall gradient. What he didn’t expect was that… there would be barely any trees at all. This talk dives into the reality of land-use change, deforestation, and landscape fragmentation in one of the most endangered ecosystems on the planet: the Dry Chaco Forest. Through species diversity, forest structure, and drone imagery indices, Axel unpacks the story of a disappearing forest. With a mix of humor and tension, he’ll discuss why this almost non-renewable resource is vanishing and what that means for the future of our planet… and our steak.
