Series of Talks »Blick über den Tellerrand«

Our series of lectures is held in German.

Once every month, the Fraunhofer ITWM opens its doors and invites everyone who is interested to broaden their horizon. The interdisciplinary lecture series »Blick über den Tellerrand« of the Felix Klein Center for Mathematics presents different perspectives on a wide spectrum of topics in the area of science and technology.

Exciting experts from a wide range of fields will speak and discuss with the guests. Everyone is cordially invited and admission is free. The event will take place on site at the Fraunhofer Center and will also be broadcast virtually.

»Blick über den Tellerrand« (Thinking Outside the Box) in May 2025

»Forest Under Climate Stress«

 

Tuesday, May 13th, 2025 

from 17:00 to 18:30 

5pm – 6:30pm

The lecture will be held in German.

The change in our climate is affecting the forest. We can see this not only in tree growth, but also in the soil water balance and microclimate. What strategies can we use to counter this climate stress? Are there tree species that are particularly suitable for the forest of the future? Forest scientist Dr. Ulrich Matthes explores these questions and concludes by presenting projects at the Research Institute for Forest Ecology and Forestry in Trippstadt that deal with the forest ecosystem as a whole.

 

About the Speaker

Dr. Ulrich Matthes studied forestry at the LMU Munich, passed the state forestry examination at the Bavarian State Forestry Administration and completed his doctorate on the conversion of spruce stands into mixed forests (1998). Subsequently, Mr. Matthes analysed the cultural services of mountain forests in the Bavarian Alps and carried out social-empirical acceptance studies in the BMBF research network Agrarökosysteme München (FAM) and dealt with the sustainability of land use systems. At the Research Institute for Forest Ecology and Forestry Rhineland-Palatinate (FAWF), Mr. Matthes headed the Forest Landscape Ecology department until 2008 and was also a lecturer at the University of Freiburg in the Forest and Environmental Sciences course. From 2008 to 2011, he coordinated the project »Climate and Landscape Change in Rhineland-Palatinate« (KlimLandRP) and has been head of the Rhineland-Palatinate Competence Center for Climate Change Impacts since 2010.

The event will be moderated by Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Küfer. He is the speaker for the Felix Klein Center for Mathematics and head of the »Optimization« division and »Optimization in the Life Sciences« department at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM.
