"Solving the mystery of the missing carbon sink" - Geography AberWorkshop
Discussions of climate change understandably focus on carbon in the atmosphere and on emissions from burning fossil fuels. Other important elements of the global carbon cycle are often overlooked. This workshop will focus on the importance of soils and forests drawing on examples from temperate and dryland environments across the world where human activities are leading to important changes in stores and processes of this chemical element which has assumed such prominence in our political and social lives.
This workshop is also available through the medium of Welsh.
AberWorkshops are designed to be interactive and thought-provoking, providing valuable insight into university study and subject pathways while encouraging critical thinking and discussion.
