Jerónimo López Martínez- 'Las montañas en un mundo en cambio'

The Ramón Areces Foundation is organizing the conference "Mountains in a Changing World" on February 25th, presented by Jerónimo López Martínez, Professor Emeritus at the Autonomous University of Madrid. Mountain ranges are a clear example of the Earth's dynamism. Their location and characteristics reveal both the geological past and the consequences of recent, accelerated changes. Mountains are fragile territories with a vital role for the ecosystems and inhabitants of their surrounding areas; territories currently threatened by climate change and other impacts due to human activity. The conference will discuss these aspects and the perspectives facing mountains in the current context, all illustrated with examples from many mountains around the world.
