Projektkoordinatorin Klimagarten
Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin im Botanischen Garten Oldenburg
The climate garden project reconstructs the Botanical Gardens to be climate neutral by 2025, producing its own electricity and waiving natural gas for thermal energy and heat exchangers, amongst other measures. With the construction of an information centre, state of the art knowledge about the climate research of the University of Oldenburg can be spread interactively to students and everybody else interested.
Plants have relevance for urban climate change adaptation in binding CO2, reducing temperatures, moderating water flows and filtering the air. What exactly that means for Oldenburg is part of the research we will conduct on several roofs and facades in the Botanical Gardens in the coming years.
My background and research interests are in the relevance of (crop) plants in climate change adaptation. They include plant-based urban climate change adaptation, relevance of rooftop- and facade greening, sustainable agriculture, alternative food initiatives and seed commons.
