Terrestrial Ecology

Seminar & events

Terrestrial ecology, seminar and journal club

Teaching module on KSL: 2153-HS2024-0
Seminar schedule on ILIAS with PDF's

The Terrestrial Ecology (TERR) seminar series takes place only during the Fall Semesters. The TERR seminar mainly consists of talks given by the members of TERR. Through this seminar, we aim to provide students with an overview of our ongoing research centred on investigating global change effects on terrestrial biodiversity. As a participant in this seminar, a student will have to actively participate in the discussion and will be evaluated based on how often they engage in the discussion through asking questions and sharing their views. The final exam is writing an essay by connecting two different talks.

  • Time: unless specified otherwise, every Tuesday, at 14:15
  • Place: Haller-Auditiorium 248, Geologie, Baltzerstrasse 1
  • Contact: Prof. Dr. Madhav P. Thakur
