Christmas Lecture 2025 – Dipartimento di Biologia
Il 19 dicembre 2025, alle ore 16:30, presso il Centro Didattico Morgagni – Aula 004 (Firenze), si terrà la Christmas Lecture 2025 del Dipartimento di Biologia, che concluderà le attività del PhDay 2025.
La lecture, dal titolo:
“Ocean Solutions for Nature and People”
sarà tenuta dalla Prof.ssa Fiorenza Micheli,
David and Lucile Packard Professor of Marine Science presso la Stanford University.
The ocean is Earth’s last frontier. It comprises most of its habitable volume, is home to a unique and extraordinary diversity of plants, animals, and microbes; regulates its climate; and provides food and
livelihood for billions of people. Our future is inextricably linked to the ocean, and to maintaining the flow of critical and irreplaceable benefits healthy oceans provide. While much investigation and discussion are
focused on risks and impacts, there is a critical need and opportunity to develop solutions. I will present and discuss insights and ocean-based solutions to three interconnected grand challenges, biodiversity loss,
climate change and food security.
