Mental Health Day am TUM Institute for LifeLong Learning Am 10. Oktober ist World Mental Health Day. Das TUM Institute for LifeLong Learning bietet an diesem Tag vielfältige Impulse zum Thema mentale Gesundheit an. Veranstaltungsort: Zoom

The lecture is going to focus on mining waste, specifically tailings, including their definition, generation, properties, and management challenges. It will introduce the circular economy concept in tailings management, discussing legislation, recycling, and case studies of successful initiatives. The session will emphasize the importance of reusing materials to reduce environmental impacts and outlines future steps for integrating circular practices in mining, highlighting academia’s role in fostering innovation and research for sustainable mining practices.

Archaeological artefacts that have been hidden deep within the ice of the Norwegian mountains for the past 7000 years have been melting out. The rapid change in the glaciers and ice patches of Norway in the past 20 years have given archaeologist a unique opportunity to study a new context and landscape. We established the Glacial archaeology program to rescue this knowledge. It is known to the public as Secrets of the Ice. The key themes of our work that will be presented are: Unprecedented Preservation: The cold conditions in ice can perfectly preserve organic materials, providing invaluable insights into past technology and human activity. Climate change: As ice melt due to climate change, new sites are uncovered, prompting both excitement and concern about what we might lose in the future. Interdisciplinary Approach: The field combines archaeology, biology, and climate sciences, showcasing how diverse expertise can contribute to understanding our history. Public dissemination: The rapidly disappearing ice and recovery of lost artefacts is a tangible story to inform the public about how the changing climate really is different now than in the past thousands of years. Overall, our work underscores the urgency of studying these sites before they vanish, while also reflecting on our relationship with the environment and the impact of climate change.

Projections show that the world population will grow to more than 9 billion people by 2050. Goals 2 and 3 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals embrace the provision of sufficient and nutritious food for the growing population to promote human health and wellbeing. Major crops such as cassava, maize, potato, rice, and wheat are rich in starch and together they provide more than 60% of the carbohydrate calories consumed worldwide, but they have a poor micronutrient content. People for whom these crops are the primary staple food receive enough calories, but they are often malnourished because these staple foods do not contain enough of the necessary vitamins and minerals such as iron for a healthy diet. To date, 1.6 billion people worldwide suffer reduced productive capacity due to iron-deficiency anemia. Achieving higher micronutrient content for health and nutrition is often not possible with available breeding germplasm, especially in rice. We are employing genetic engineering and genome editing strategies to increase the iron and vitamin content of polished rice grains for improving human health. For example, we increased iron and zinc in rice grains to dietary relevant levels, and combined iron and zinc with essential vitamins. Multi-year field trials and feeding experiments with these biofortified rice lines demonstrate that the micronutrient traits are stable and bioavailable.

In this lecture, Johanna Frühwald will explore the critical intersection of finance, fossil fuels, and climate action by giving insights into the work of the German environmental and human rights NGO, Urgewald. Founded in 1992, Urgewald has become a global leader in tracking the financial flows that support destructive industries and advocating for transformative change. The presentation will spotlight Urgewald’s pioneering data-driven campaigns, including the development of the Global Coal Exit List (GCEL) and Global Oil & Gas Exit List (GOGEL)—the most comprehensive publicly accessible databases on the fossil fuel industry. These tools are used by hundreds of financial institutions to shape investment decisions and policies. Moreover, insights from a current campaign in collaboration with the Filipino organization Center for Energy, Ecology, and Development (CEED), targeting the massive expansion of gas infrastructure in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, will be shared.

The talk will cover the following topics: - Introduction to deep-sea biology (oceanography, ecology, biodiversity); - What are ocean minerals? (types, history/summary of scientific knowledge about them); - Human interest in ocean minerals (history of interest, proposed applications, methods of extraction, management of resources); - Potential environmental and social impacts of ocean mineral extraction; - Do we need deep-sea minerals? (mineral supply and demand and the development of technology); - A way forward (drafting of regulations and reaching consensus).

During this short talk we will take a dive into the wildlife trafficking world. What is wildlife trafficking? Why does it happen? What are the drivers? Why does it matter and what are the impacts and facets of wildlife trafficking? And finally how each person can contribute to end this horrendous practice.

These include 5-15% chemical additives, which comprise hundreds of substances, for example antioxidants, antiozonants, vulcanizing agents, anti-aging agents and many more, to enable the high-tech performance of a modern tire. The compounds leached from car tires find their way into agriculture through atmospheric deposition, irrigation with treated wastewater and the use of sewage sludge as fertilizer. There they can be taken up by plants and thus also reach humans. Similarly, the presence of drug residues in commercially sold fruit and vegetables has already been scientifically investigated many times. However, chemical substances from tire wear also find their way into the food chain. We have detected these chemical residues in leafy vegetables. Although the concentrations were low, the evidence was clear, a finding that is also known for drug residues in plant-based foods. Some of these substances and their transformation products can potentially pose ecological and toxicological risks. About Thilo Hofmann: Thilo Hofmann earned his Ph.D. in aquatic geochemistry from the University of Bremen in 1998 and continued as Assistant Professor at the University of Mainz. In 2005, he joined the University of Vienna, where he has since held the position of Full Professor and Chair of Environmental Geosciences. Prof. Hofmann has played a significant role in shaping the Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography, and Astronomy at the University of Vienna, serving as Vice Dean from 2006 to 2012, and as Dean from 2012 to 2016. In 2014, he founded the University of Vienna's Environmental Research Network, now the “Environment and Climate Research Hub”, where he serves as Director. This interdisciplinary network brings scientists from diverse fields, including natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, law, and economics, all working collaboratively to address pressing environmental challenges. Prof. Hofmann’s research focuses on pollutants of emerging concern. His scholarly contributions include more than 200 peer-reviewed publications, and his work has earned him recognition from institutions such as the German Academic Scholarship Foundation, the German Water Chemistry Society, and Berlin Technical University. In addition to his role at the University of Vienna, Prof. Hofmann holds adjunct positions internationally. Since 2017, he has been Adjunct Full Professor at Duke University in the United States, and in 2018, he was honored as a Guest Professor at Nankai University in Tianjin, China.

In Deutschland isst jede Person rund 20 Kilogramm frisches Obst pro Jahr, dazu kommen rund zehn Kilogramm in verarbeiteten Produkten. Am beliebtesten ist der Apfel. Allerdings müssen rund vier Millionen Menschen auf den Verzehr verzichten, weil sie auf Äpfel allergisch reagieren. Doch jetzt sind Lösungen in Sicht – Prof. Wilfried Schwab stellt sie in seinem Vortrag bei TUM@Freising vor.

Ständige Veränderungen gehören zu unserem Alltag. Stress - ob positiv oder negativ - ist ein normaler Bestandteil unseres Lebens. Die Kunst und die Herausforderung bestehen darin, alle Bälle in der Luft zu halten und gleichzeitig auf sich selbst zu achten, Belastungssituationen zu meistern und die eigene Energie im "grünen Bereich" zu halten.
