Ready for a night of science, drinks, and eye-opening talks? Join us at the Baby Goat for a fascinating evening with Dr. Franziska Böwer as she digs into why soil health is crucial for our planet’s future and how we can protect it. Additionally, Malin Klein will unravel the surprising truth about microplastics— they can be found in the oceans, the atmosphere and (this might sound familiar if you paid attention during the first talk) soil! Grab a drink, eat a pizza, and learn something new. See you there!
Talk Dirt(y) to Me: Why Soil Health Matters
Dr Franziska Böwer
(Soilytix)
Think soil is just dirt? Think again! Beneath our feet lies a thriving ecosystem that's crucial to our planet’s health. In this talk, we’ll explore why soil health matters, how we can monitor its well-being, and whether we can find sustainable solutions to keep it healthy. Join me as we dig into the science of soil and discover how this hidden world impacts biodiversity, climate, and our future.

Microplastic - Not just a marine problem
Malin Klein
(UHH)
Malin Klein, a physical geographer and PhD candidate at the University of Hamburg, specializes in the study of microplastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems, with a particular focus on atmospheric microplastics . Her research has revealed that microplastics are not confined to marine environments but are also prevalent in the atmosphere, affecting both urban and rural areas.
In her talk, Malin will delve into her findings on the presence and distribution of airborne microplastics. She will discuss how these particles are transported through the atmosphere and deposited across various landscapes, including forests and urban centers. Her studies have shown that factors such as population density and canopy cover influence the concentration and composition of microplastic deposition
Malin's work underscores the importance of recognizing microplastic pollution as a multifaceted environmental issue that extends beyond oceans, highlighting the need for comprehensive strategies to address its impact on terrestrial ecosystems.
