1 Programme Overview Page 1 21 July 15 August 2014 Seminar Programme Frankfurt Summer School 2014

2 Programme Overview Page 2 Topics Biodiversity in different ecosystems and natural as well as anthropogenic changes evident in space and time are the focus of interest of many scientists at the Goethe University of Frankfurt. Numerous organisms, their interactions and ecological functions are still unknown, but modern methods including molecular techniques and modeling give fascinating new insights into biodiversity structures and processes over large scales in space and time. We are looking forward to teaching and sharing our knowledge on different subjects including among others: How fungi can help to save the world! Integrative research on diversity, systematics and applied aspects of fungi Biodiversity in time and space: paleoceanography and paleoclimatology Biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems for assessment of anthropogenic impacts Man and the biosphere in the past and the present
