On the 15th of May, Alexandre Trindade presented a talk about “Climate Change and Permafrost in the Antarctic Peninsula”. The invitation came from the Program Eco-Escolas of the Torres Novas district, a program of the European Blue Flag Association. This program encourages work and activities about environmental education in schools. This year themes are water, waste, energy, biological agriculture, climate change and forest.
The lecture had the participation of over 200 students of several ages, and focused on climate change, especially in the Antarctic Peninsula, permafrost research and on the Portuguese Antarctic campaigns. The lecture lasted about 30 minutes and was followed by a 20 minute debate.
