Lichens, a complex symbiosis of fungi and algae, are now recognized as intricate micro-ecosystems. Despite their ecological importance, these diverse organisms are often overlooked. They thrive in varied habitats, from lush forests to the Sonoran Desert, which alone supports over a third of North America's lichen species.

Join lichen expert Dr. Frank Bungartz for a Speaker Series talk exploring what lichens are, where they are found, and their fundamental role in ecosystems. Dr. Bungartz, Collections Manager at ASU's Lichen Herbarium, will share insights from his extensive research on lichen diversity and function in regions like the Sonoran Desert, Galapagos, and Ecuador.

Despite rising global carbon levels, climate change has struggled for mainstream political priority. However, a new interest in green politics may be emerging. Thirty years after the IPCC's 1988 establishment and with the 2050 Paris Agreement target approaching, it's timely to assess the UK's current climate change politics.

Speakers include Caroline Lucas MP (Green Party), Benet Northcote (John Lewis Partnership), Alice Bell (10:10 Climate Action), and Tony Greenham.

Humpback whales engage in "kelping," a global phenomenon where they roll in seaweed. This behavior is thought to be both play and a form of skincare, potentially removing parasites and bacteria to improve health. A recent study, partly based on social media observations, documented kelping across populations from the North Atlantic to Australia. This fascinating behavior was featured in Endangered Earth Online (Nov. 16, 2032).
