Science and Environment
Oceans 500 Years Later, with the particpation of Jack Middelburg (head of the department of geosciences and earth sciences at Utrecht University) and Iris Hendriks (researcher at the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies (IMEDEA-CSIC), chaired by Chiara Sotis (LSE).
In this colloquium, we want to reflect on the evolution of our oceans through topics such as the threats that loom over marine biodiversity, including the adverse effects of climate change and health, due to the impact of human actions on environment and the importance of smart waste management. The physical, chemical, biological and geological effects that explain the current state of the oceans will be reviewed. The discussion will also highlight the tools available and the urgent need for crucial actions that must be taken, such as the creation of an adequate international network of marine reserves, which will allow future generations to enjoy the oceans. This event is part of the Rethinking the World Today series, coorganized by the Cañada Blanch Centre at LSE and Instituto Cervantes London.
The Oceans, 500 years later is a programme launched by Instituto Cervantes with the worldwide sponsorship of the Fundación Iberdrola.
In English. Online event via Zoom.
