Prof Dr Helmut Hillebrand, Institute of Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment (ICBM) and Director of the Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity (HIFMB)

Rapid climate change poses a particular challenge for marine and terrestrial organisms. They can either move to new habitats ("move"), adapt to the new conditions ("adapt"), or they will not be able to survive ("die"). In this presentation, I will summarise how the composition of marine and terrestrial species communities is already changing under climate change - and what changes we can expect in the future. In particular, I will look at how climate and other human interventions affect the diversity of life (biodiversity), with a focus on marine life.

For whom? The video input and the climate talk are suitable for 9th-13th grade & BBS.
