Elisabeth Cooper: Challenges facing arctic plants and ecosystems.
Wednesday 17 January at 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm
We welcome Elisabeth Cooper back to Bristol to tell us more about arctic plants, the challenges facing them, and arctic ecosystems in these times of change.
Elisabeth is a Bristolian, living and working in the Arctic. She is a Professor of Plant Ecology at the Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø and has many years of field experience far North of the Arctic Circle, both in summer and winter. She will focus her talk on the archipelago of Svalbard, Europe’s Northernmost islands, where the sun doesn’t set for 4 months each summer and doesn’t rise for 4 months each winter. This talk is open to everyone, with plenty of pictures of arctic plants.
Booking is essential: please book online here
