How can cities become more resistant to heat? How can we monitor the health of Bavarian lakes as the climate changes? And what role can artificial intelligence, environmental modeling, and biodiversity research play in Bavaria's future? These are the questions being investigated in the new Bavarian Climate Research Network bayklif2, which is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts.
As a key member of the network, LMU has several research groups involved in various projects. LMU's contribution is especially visible in the two collaborative projects MEDICUS and ecoBay, which address key challenges posed by climate change in Bavaria: the health consequences of increasing heat stress and air pollution in cities and the ecological stability of Bavarian waterbodies.
