\n<\/strong>Due to the popularity of recent events Dundee Arts Caf\u00e9 is now a ticketed event. Please book your free tickets in advance – <\/strong>https:\/\/uod.ac.uk\/ArtsCafe1<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

We are currently facing a grave climate emergency. Unless we take urgent action, the increase in global temperature threatens human society and all life on our planet. It\u2019s a daunting thought, but what can we do about it?<\/p>\n

There are many projects where people across the world come together to monitor how our planet is changing and to test solutions. These projects are also known as \u2018Citizen Science\u2019, and can be a very helpful way to collect data and solve environmental issues together.<\/p>\n

Join us for this discussion with Prof Mel Woods from the University of Dundee, as she discusses what makes an effective Citizen Science project and how we can all help the environment by getting more involved.<\/p>\n

Everyone is welcome. Doors open at 5pm. Please book your free tickets in advance.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Admission price\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Free, Booking essential. Booking available at https:\/\/uod.ac.uk\/ArtsCafe1<\/a>

Venue\/Address\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Medina Bar and Grill, 113 Nethergate, Dundee, DD1 4DH

Event\/activity\/ description
\n<\/strong>The world\u2019s tropical forests are under increasing pressure, with the fires burning in the Amazon being the latest tragic example.\u00a0 This destruction and degradation of forests has continued for decades, with over half of all tropical forests now having been logged at least once.\u00a0 Those that remain face threats posed by a changing climate and conversion to agricultural plantations.<\/span><\/p>\n

But how do we know what is actually happening in our rainforests? Using satellites in space and new sensors on the ground we can now see the changes and responses of these fragile ecosystems better than ever before.<\/p>\n

Join Dr Mark Cutler (University of Dundee) to explore what we can and cannot see from these new technologies and what this means for the long-term exploitation and conservation of tropical forests across the world.<\/p>\n

Join us at Caf\u00e9 Science Dundee at our new venue Medina Bar & Grill at 113 Nethergate on Monday 25 November 2019, at 7pm. This is a free event and everyone is welcome. There is no need to book in advance but arrive early to avoid disappointment.<\/p>\n
