At the event, there was in-depth discussion about how the rise in temperatures has influenced the retreating glaciers in the country, contributing to their pollution, and also, its effects on the mortality rate of native tree species, as related with intense droughts over recent years, along with its associated human and economic costs.<\/p>\n

The speakers<\/strong> at the instance were: the academician at the Institute of Environmental and Evolutionary Sciences in Universidad Austral de Chile (UACh), and Director of the university\u2019s Botanical Gardens Mylthon Jim\u00e9nez<\/strong>, who has carried out research and work regarding the effects of climate change on species, the community, and the ecosystem processes in southern Chile; and Francisca Bown<\/strong>, a researcher at the Glaciology Lab in the Centro de Estudio Cient\u00edficos CECs who has studied the phenomenon\u2019s consequences for glaciers in Chile and Antarctica. The conversation was moderated<\/strong> by UACh Media delegate V\u00edctor Godoy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
