PIK scientists answered questions about the energy transition and climate neutrality, climate impacts in Germany and the world, dripstones as climate archives, what role food will play in the future and how trees can survive under climate change.
The presentations by PIK researchers on planetary boundaries, the extinction of dinosaurs on Earth, 4 billion years of climate history in 30 minutes and climate change in the public debate - between science and lobbying - were also met with great interest.
The Potsdam Science Day took place for the eleventh time. More than 35 universities, schools and research institutions in Brandenburg presented their research topics at the Albert Einstein Science Park on Telegrafenberg in Potsdam.
