NATURAMA Lecture: Of Dragons, Great Powers & Tiny Ones

The Macun Lake District has always fascinated people. One of the reasons for this is the mysterious legend of the dragon that lives in Lai dal Dragun and is still respected today. 25 years ago, this unique natural jewel became part of the Swiss National Park and has been protected from human interference ever since. At over 2600 m above sea level, scientists are researching the effects of global changes on rock glaciers, alpine waters and their ecosystems. From rare plant species to the discovery of new insects and diatoms, Macun is a highly exciting research space. At this book launch, Christopher Robinson and Stefanie Gubler provide fascinating insights into 25 years of research on Macun. Afterwards, an aperitif will be offered.

Speakers: Christopher Robinson, Dr., Senior Scientist Eawag (retired) and Stefanie Gubler, Dr., Head of FOK SNP, SCNAT | The Lavin Schoolhouse is about a 10-minute walk from Lavin Train Station. The lecture will take place in the large hall there.
