Peatland seminar, workshop and BBQ
An afternoon with "torv och korv" with Professor Mike Waddington. For invited guests only.
Welcome to participate in a peatland focused afternoon hosted by the Division of biogeochemistry and hydrology at SLU, Ultuna on May 12. During this afternoon, we will get inspired by Mike Waddington's work on peat fires and climate change, we will foster a deeper understanding on the interactions of peatland ecohydrology, resilience and restoration by our discussions during a peatland workshop, and finally, we will heat up a BBQ to enjoy tasty food and good company in the MVM backyard.
